| Yup! It's the Eclipsed version.
Yes. This is the special Eclispe modified verison (an Eclipsed Phaeton). Just a quck post here during passing period. I have played the original Pheatons back when Wayne Tanabe was involved with the design. I liked them OK, but felt that the sound was WAAYYYY too bright. It was also a bit stuffy. It slotted fine.
Now, I'm, still working with this horn. but as part of my initial impessions, I would have to say the modifications, particularly the curved tuning crook, have made a huge difference. While I still don't think it will be the best fit for me, it is sooo much closer to what I like, it's not even funny. Oh yeah, in my original post I forgot to mention that this horn slots very well, too - has a nice Q!
Gotta run! The bell rang.
