Maybe we need a library of playing examples. Dave Monette has done it, I am sure that Eclipse, Taylor....... could follow suit. They all sure have enough qualified "artists". Of course it makes no sense to compare 2 different players or manufacturers as the recording techniques and acoustics will be different, but the difference in sounds on the Monette site was an ear-opener for me. If someone was interested in an Eclipse, they could hear what differences one great player could get out of the series.

I really wonder if DM made a silver Prana1 or Prana3, if Manny could fool the conductor or even his colleagues? I am sure that the eyes affect the ears when a gold trumpet is played.

Fun post... I'd love to see some pics if you took any Manny! That has to be so much fun... I know how it is to work with a maker one-on-one but can't imagine the joy after all the years you've "worked" side by side with Dave.

Funny about the above post... I'm working on plane tix now to go fly out to do the exact thing you've mentioned with the Eclipsi.

Best,

Hi Trent, I visited Eclipse last week for 2 days with 2 colleagues. Leigh had prepared 8 flugelhorns and 20 trumpets for us to test. We had a lot of fun and did also meet Noel Langley and other Eclipse artists at the shop and in London. It was a great trip.

Trent, get some sound bites for us! Manny only needed about 20 seconds per horn. I would be interested in hearing the rainbow of sounds Eclipse can produce!
