Nice post Charmaine.
The new Fl;airs are at best...um...mediocre and that might be too kind.
I enjoyed my Flairs very much and am alway on the lookout for a new one.
My favorite one was a 1967 model, I used a Parduba James 3.5 whenever I did Harry's solos on that horn.
Good to have you here.
ps
Are you sure these horns were designed for use by Diz?
They were the signature horn for Harry James. He was the main star advertising them. At one time the whole James trumpet section had to play Flairs.
