Thanks for the review!


Quite a bit of what you said seems to be the case when I tried it. One interesting thing though, you thought it didn't cut enough for lead, and I thought it didn't project enough for lead! I have to agree with you on most of the areas you mentioned: you have to get used to playing it, and the sound seems too niche for my tastes. It's unique, and probably would be great for going into a microphone, but it's probably not the greatest horn to use in an acoustic setting (not the worst either though).


One more thing, how do you feel about the mechanics? I think the valves still had some breaking in to do, but they and the slides worked consistently and evenly unlike my factory bach, which travels lightning fast but hangs up once in awhile.
