In January I sent my xeno C to Charlie Melk for a leadpipe conversion. When it came back at first I loved the sound but the blow felt very very strange and very stuffy. This was wreaking havoc on my playing and I thought I made a bad move. But, in wanting to give to new setup a fair shot, and also not having any other horn I could revert to, I stuck with it. Within about a 45 days I was sold. I got used to the blow and I still loved the sound very much. I think this can illustrate the importance of giving things a fair shake.

So, for me anyway, the melk pipe worked well for my Yamaha xeno C. In fact, in couple days I expect to get my xeno Bb back from Charlie with his leadpipe on it. I cannot wait!

hey this is my 100th post. neat.
