The differences between "great" instruments are subtle and require time and patience to decipher.
It is cool however to nail some (supposed) beginner to the wall with a killer double C however!  |
It sounds like you have been to the Frankfurt Music Messe. Great horns on display and nowhere to really hear yourself play them. I will miss going there this year for the simple reason it is a great place to pick up quintet music.
