| Eclipse C Trumpet initial thoughts
Hey gang!
I know you're all wondering when I'd have the C in my hands...
Well I received the horn on Friday (along with my LR which I had Leigh Goldplate... wow!) and haven't been able to put it down.
I'm planning on writing a full review tonight... if I can put the horn down.
How great is this horn?
Let's just say I didn't play any pic yesterday on my EXTREMELY long (4 services...don't ask) day. I own a Schilke p5-4 and love it. That is definitely saying something.
The Eclipse efficiency I have in my Bb is definitely here (and perhaps even better) in the C.
The sound is amazing. It's exactly what I had in mind. A bright tone with a big CORE. It's warm and can be as brilliant as you want it. The partials that always give me problems on my Yamaha C (4th line D to g on top of the staff) are dead on perfect.
I will write more tonight. I've gotta go PRACTICE!
THANK YOU LEIGH for making a C that is every bit as inspiring to play as your Bbs.
This will be the hit of this year's ITG.
Best,
Trent |
