Hi Larry:

I sent you a PM message.

I didn't try the #3, just a 1s/7 and a 1s/2 years ago at a New York brass conference. Chris and Irma were there and they were such nice people.

I didn't try the #3. I don't know why I'm sure they had one there.
A conference is the worst place to try a horn at with everyone around you being an idiot and trying to play higher and louder than the next guy in the huge ballroom at the hotel Rossevelt.

I heard the conference is held somewhere upstate now. I haven't gone since.

Since then I have tried out a few 1s/7's and a few 1s/2's on a few different occasions, but their was never a #3 belled Calicchio in stock at the time.

Check you inbox Larry and thanks again man. I appreciate you input.

And ahh here it goes: the #3, it's bigger, it's darker, it's wider, Freddie Hubberd used or uses it! How was that!!! HA HA HA!!!

Well I know I gotta go back and practice. Back to the woodshed!

By the way when I say "in awe" I mean you seem like a guy that is more than a history or horn/gear buff, you really live and breathe this stuff, so I really appreciate that more than if you were the type of moderator that just gave a few facts but no detailed insider backround info which you seem to have a lot of. So thanks Larry.

Back to my woodsheding catch you soon!
