| There was a whole other ordeal with the horn which makes it more difficult to swallow this lacquer issue, and I have contacted the manufacture itself. If I have them deal with it, it takes away my warranty and trial period through Music123, so I'd rather not do that (plus, their advice, which I did find out right away, was to return the horn: either they would repair it, send it back to the manufacture, or order me another). Also, I didn't disclose the manufacture because I wanted an unbiased opinion.
All and all, I think it's all happening for a reason, and I believe I've made a good choice. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. :)
To be honest, I didn't want to send back and get the lacquer redone after getting my ordeal, which was: I got the wrong horn the first time (wrong finish, actually and iroically), a damaged horn the second time, and then this lacquer-wear this last time. I didn't add this info because it didn't really deal with this particular issue. But I do believe that the rest of this stuff has made me change my mind. Also, playing the horns side by side did so too.
Thanks. |
