Alex Yates has a little shameless behaviour in the past

Oh yes, that horn plays like buttuh. I played the slow solo from "American in Paris" and some Arban Characteristic Studies. It was amazing. The notes jumped out with ease, the sound was 'alive', not too bright or dark, the dynamic range was easy to manipulate without compromising pitch, the slotting was spot on - a middle C felt practically the same as a low or high C - i.e. notes felt very close together. (The flumpet was even more shocking in this respect. It was so incredibly easy and fluid. I literally felt NO change going from mid C to high C. OH! and the low register is to DIE FOR) Ahem, back to the B993.......I really can't say a bad thing about it. Playing it put me in a dream state immediately. I was able to float to another world and really think about the music I was making. You can guarantee, when I am ready to get an incredible Bflat, that is what I will be ordering.
