Alex, is Leigh thinking of Expanding his european marketing efforts a bit more on the south-east direction? You can imagine what I think of...What was the rotary horn? I don't know of any rotaries made by Leigh...or am I wrong? |
No, Leigh does not make a rotary. I have an older Monke Bb given to me by my teacher in Belgium.
Addressing the piccolo. Yesterday I was playing my 14 year old Yamaha Custom long bell. The Eclipse prototypes are in Luton because Leigh needs them for tooling and such. I do look forward to finally having one because they are such a joy to play, but you cannot rush quality. All in due time. (yes, I am chomping at the bit anyway!)
The Eclipse trumpets are making their way around the EU, so no worries Nick. I am sure your region will be in the fray before too long.
Leigh doesn't need to market these horns. They speak for themselves. As more players get them in their hands, more world wide coverage will commence. That is how it has been happening thus far and I see no reason why it will not continue.
