Maybe I'm just too much of a pessimist, but to me it just appears to be a money making move. The heavy trumpet fad and peaked business probably started to slow. The Prana models -- same thing (As are Yamaha Chicago and NY, Bach Chicago, etc. etc. etc.).

Yes, we get better horns and more choices; BUT, it all comes down to the bottom line.
