MUSICandCHARACTER is an unknown quantity at this point

I also am guilty of enticing destitute people in becoming ZeuS dealers. How they came up with the cash to buy the initial 3 instruments, I will never know. They probably had to engage in serious illegal activity to do it. I hate to think what terrible crimes ZeuS is responsible for. Now I call that dedication to the ZeuS brand.

Yep, that's me. A crime spree so I could become a ZeuS dealer. Mr. Zachary held my kids hostage (oops, I only have one kid). Somehow, I think the point of my post was missed. But read what you want. I sell ZeuS for my own reasons -- NEVER has Mr. Zachary misrepresented anything to me -- EVER.

I am well known for being a man of honor. I consider my word and my honor things to cherish as fine possessions. The only reason I posted my personal situation was to let people know that I have only had an opportunity to play a few horns. I know things will change and soon. But until then, my scope will not include playing a Wild Thing or an Eclipse. I can live with that.

To even suggest that Mr. Zachary is in the coercion business is ludicrous. And when I say that he is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever talked to about trumpets, I mean it. If you think I haven't talked to knowledgeable people before Mr. Zachary, you would be wrong.

I am having I hard time determining why all the venom in some of these posts. Is there a movement to bring Mr. Zachary and ZeuS down? I thought the primary purpose of these boards was to inform and share info. I know at times salesmanship has gone overboard (Jack Kanstul finishes every post with how you can buy a horn from him -- we know, we know).

Many of the "manufacturers" on the TM boards are also forum moderators (or related). Flip, Tom, Jack ... etc. Alex is not. That leaves him free to post honest replies (admittedly in his own style).

I have really appreciated the information provided on the Eclipse horns -- even if this thread didn't begin in regards to horns but to a payment plan.
