I played it...actually, I played just about every horn there. It is very very similar to the Mambo horn by Stomvi. I played it with the German guy who makes them and didn't reveal my identity until after the trial. When I play-test a horn, I don't simply pick it up and wail on it. I checked intonation through all partials, slotting, dynamics and efficiency. It is a decent horn for lead work, it has the sound, but not the efficiency. I think it is a great that Doc is giving the maker such an opportunity to get his horns out. However, the trumpet is very similar to several other good horns out there including Schilke and Stomvi.
