Bergeron and yamaha

I attended the IAJE in N.Y. on 1/21-1/25. I played both the Kanstul Bergeron and the new Shew horn.

I talked to the Yamaha rep that was there, and he said this is the new model Shew 8310Z. It played a little better than the old one (not as tight). but it was still to tight for me. Also, the lacquer one played much more open tha the silver one.

I have also talked to Wayne on the phone about his model Kanstul horn. The Wayne Bergeron or the Kanstul model 1600 has a tweeked out leadpipe on it. Kanstul even saids it has a special leadpipe on their site.

The Bergeron and the Vax model Yamaha are both more open playing than the new Shew model.
