I sat in with Chuck Willard's (B6 / Solar Bell) big band tonight and he was gracious enough to let me play his new Eclipse Solar Bell trumpet..............and I don't mean noodle for 2 minutes, I got to play it during the entire 2 hour rehearsal.

Man, what a nice horn. I found it to be very responsive, very easy to move around on and easy to play, what I mean is effortless. I played that horn for two hours and it seemed like about 10 minutes. It doesn't fight you at all. I think the sound I got was great, very easy to blend with the section, easy to play quietly but you could easily light it up when you pushed it. Even though it's not broken in yet, the valves were liquid smooth and quick. I don't think I need to comment on the looks and workmanship. The horn is gorgeous and flawless. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is obvious. There is not a picture anywhere that does it justice.

Thanks again Chuck for the opportunity to play your prize. This horn is seriously good.
