| Well I did it!!!!
I finally got myself a flugel.
I found meyself at Twigg`s music in Montreal and Pascal Twigg gave me five flugels to try out. The used Bach was the better price, but I didn`t connect with it.
I chose from:
Yamaha (normal model I don`t know the number)
Yamaha - Bobby Shew
Used Bach
New Bach
the new Getzen
The final desicion was between the Bobby Shew and the used Bach (mostly because of the price).
Drum roll please.............
I chose the Bobby Shew with his signature mouthpiece (only until I can get a matching GR flugel mouthpiece) does GR even make them? I`ll have to check.
It works great. It`s amazing. It seemed smaller than the others but still had the deepest tone (am I imagining this?)
Ah well, I am sure I will have many years of fun with this horn
Thanks for all your insight
Greatly appriciated
