No hijacking here, let's just say I am picking up a hitch- hiker! The Calicchio has been a great experience over the years. It plays wide open and free with a rich full tone. Bore size is ML, but with the 3/9 set up, it felt more like a Large bore! Valves aren't the best but tolerable but overall I am/was quite haPPy with it. Switched over to the Stage 1's for the purpose of getting a smaller, lighter horn that gives me more resistance from the Trumpet Wall! The Stage 1 's and NYTC/ Felix are absolutely the BEST Horn/people I have played/worked with in the Trumpet Maker's World!

"Some days you get up and put the horn to your chops and it sounds pretty good and you win. Some days you try and nothing works and the horn wins. This goes on and on and then you die and the horn wins."
