| Hi Bill,
Thanks for the kind words! If folks had a chance to try these everywhere, they'd understand what you and I know about these wonderful instruments.
They are so rare though that there surely must not be than 100 of them on the planet.
I've never, ever heard the kind of sound that comes out of that short model's bell . . . but now you understand that too!!! On gigs people stop and listen when I pick that particular horn up. It has a sound that's so intimate, so sweet . . . so compelling.
My Boston 3-Stars rarely come out of their cases anymore.
My first WT was a used one! I found Flip just as friendly towards me as if he'd sold it to me. That blew me away. It's rare to find people who aren't just out to sell you a horn . . . but who really care to help someone find just the right horn for them. I feel the same way.
Glad you got a great deal on a used one! Again, thanks for the kind words!
Warmest regards,
Tom |
