I had the opportunity to try this (and many others) horn out at ITG this year. It is a very responsive horn; even-blowing and versitile. I really enjoyed playing it. Put up against the Eclipse, it certainly holds its own (hmmm...wonder why?
)
Bruce and Leigh (Hah! What irony!!! Bruce Lee and Bruce and Leigh...man...still wiped out...and getting punchy) have made the horn even more versitile by adding 2 tuning slides: one square bends and one rounded slide. With the squared bends, it has a good amount of sizzle and cutting power; rounded yields a nice sweet character. I was able to get on it pretty good and back right off with no problems.
It plays open and easily in the upper register and is very easy to control. I really enjoyed it. If you're in the market for an Eclipse, but don't quite have the bread, this is the horn for you.
Kudos to Bruce and Leigh for a great horn!
