Glad you enjoyed your time at the Messe and were able to try some great horns. Thanks for the reviews as well. |
I don't know any manufacturers in Nürnberg. Horns in that class would be maybe from Ricco Kühn? (except for the Taylors and Laetzsch, I didn't play anything else in the Eclipse Class - even although the air is not as thin up there as it used to be!)
Jerry, the Egerländer Musikanten (ex Ernst Mosch) were there for autographs and a little high class Um-Pah music!
Chuck, I would like to ring the necks of the marketing people that signed off on the bach picc! No great trumpet player could have!
Richard, I am always tempted. I have a P3 coming this sommer and that keeps me sensible-for the time being anyway!
Walter, Taylor is no wonder. They are made by somebody that understands what he is doing and who makes sensible design decisions. If you get a chance to meet him, competence is the second thing that strikes you (his great personality is in first place!). A wonder implies a bit of luck. Andy is pure skill!
