| Tim brought the "Thang" over the other night to let me test the horn. My first impression was a very nice look, good silver plating. I picked the horn up and enjoyed the open blow. It had the #1 slide and was very easy to play, no resistance. It reminded me of a Schilke X3. The tone was good, middle of the road to bright. The valves were very fast, however a bit noisy for my taste. I then switched to the #2 slide and the horn changed. I felt it become a little smaller but still open. much easier to control. I was able to play soft throughout the horn, and the response was very good. I was not able to make the sound spread out at high levels. Overall it was a very good horn. Thank you Tom for allowing us to try it.
