| TM, the Reeves Raptor is a joint project, conceived and assembled by Carlos Miralles at CAMBRASS and Bob Reeves and K.O. Skinsness at Reeves. The parts are ordered from Stomvi in Spain as per these guys' specs. They are assembled at CAMBRASS, then tweaked by K.O. and Bob. (Valve Alignment, etc.)
The Raptor is a Poly-Bore design, much like the Yamaha 6310Z, but a much better horn (IMHO). I tried both silver and gold plate in the standard weightm, and it played well, however, I think I would prefer the lightweight version.
These horns have incredible core, and project like crazy. The slots are well defined.
A lightweight gold Raptor is on my wish list.........
As far as the original question, I have also played the Mambo. Incredible sound and sizzle, but way too much work for me.
