rowuk,
There were three horns that even I "the advanced beginner" could recognize as outstanding. I plan to go back to Gerry's shop with a friend who is ready to spend 1+K for a horn. The three I'm referring to are: Bach Strat.-43S, Callet Soloist, and MMP Marcinkowiz. I tried a C trumpet for the first time and would like to add that to my future playing. He had a nice selection of used Cornets that I didn't play. Thanks for the encouragement rowuk, and perhaps a master class or private lesson with a "master" is in the near future. It's a little late to reach the hights of many on this site. As Brando said, "I coulda been a contenda". Not to say that I wont leave a welcomed footprint before it's over................crow
