Olympus. - Page 2

Hey all,
I am the "friend" that Screamintrumpet keeps talking about. I do have a silver finish ZO. It is by far the best horn I ever had! And yes, I cannot wait until the flugel arrives, which I was told, should ship this friday.. Right Rev.?
Anyways, I also loved the copperbell model but I opted for the silver due to the nesscessity for "more" overtones due to the work I perform. I mainly play lead in jazz... or try to, I still suck.
But my impressions of the ZO as compared to any other horn (except monette, never played one) are thus: It is THE best horn REGARDLESS of price. The tone can be made dark or bright. The tuning is a lot better in ALL registers (even though that could also be the ears fault). For some reason, I do not have as many tuning issues when playing with mutes either. The highs speak clearly and the lows are strong. It seems as if the horn will play itself.
Plus, you get WONDERFUL help from Michael and the gang. Let me know if y'all have any other questions.

Hey Zeusfan, just a clarification. I've ordered a WB in goldplate and the price isn't near the $2500 list you quoted. But, I am looking forward to playing a Zeus. I have a buddy that will be demoing soon with intention to buy.

The only thing he wishes is that the Olympus wasn't out. Now he has to choose between the G and the O!

A good problem for one of you dealers!

To clarify, the WB retails at $2500, so most stores could probably sell it for 1700 or $1800. Still that's a lot more than the ZO and definitely more than the Guarnerius. As a player (not a dealer) I definitely prefer the Olympus to any horn I have played.

Z Fan:
If you're a player and not a dealer, you might want to change your signiture block. I'll bet I'm not the only one who has been thinking you're a dealer.

This is not to say that being a dealer affects credibility. It may, however, in the minds of some.

I'm sorry for the cofusion. I am a Zeus dealer, but I was saying that my opinion was based off of me as a player and not just trying to sell my horns. I am both a player and a dealer of Zeus horns. Sorry again.
