| IU played one at Sam Ash in Manhattan. It was a raw brass model. It was very free blowing, perhaps too open for my taste. The tone was good from what I heard, although keep in mind that i was playing in a room that was about 9'x9'.
I honestly canb't say that I know about it enough to give enough of an opinion on it, but it certainly looked nice!
(It had what looked like a jasper stone and o-rings on the 1st and 3rd slides.)
