I play one of John Duda's Tulsa-made 1sZ/3RL with a .468 bore. I prefer a more open, yet efficient, horn and with the 3RL I feel that I have the best of both worlds. The 3RL feels slightly more open than the 2 I had on my Hollywood 1s2 yet there's still enough resistence to keep everything in balance. I tried a friend's 3/9L and felt that it was too open. When I puchased my horn, John was kind enough offer to replace the 3RL with a 2 if I didn't like the blow. Now that I'm used to the horn, I won't have it anyother way!!

By the way, I prefer the bright, commerical sound in my playing. I have a Calicchio flugel for the dark, smokey stuff.
