This thing is in another league. Leigh brought it with him onhis visit to Germany for me to play test, and now I want one.
Very crisp, brigh ENORMOUS volume of sound, immediate attacks, but has character in the staff....
I know this thing is new but I can tell you there is nothing on the market that can hold a candle to this thing for playing lead...
.470" bore
Bell has a nickel-silver shaft and a heavywall .7mm RIMLESS bell made from yellow brass, large throat.
It is a prototype, and still is raw/unfinished....
