| I play tested the horn today and Leigh and Jon did a final valve alignment. It is a beauty - Neil has a horn that he can cherish for years to come. It has a very sweet, brilliant and clear tone with dark undertones - more personal and compact than many modern bachs I have played - I like it a lot.
Neil heard me play it to him down the phone and was pleased to hear that the horn had a good strong double C on it ;). Seriously though it was great to talk to you Neil and I wish you luck and fun on your journey from the world of cornets into the wider musical environment. This horn can take you anywhere and do anything you ask of it as long as you put the work in.
Have fun. Noel.
