Learn the sound you make on it first before tweaking says I. Give it a real go. Play it stock at home during practice, in groups, and performances. 6 months isn't a crazy "test period" especially since school is just about out.
Just because we can tweak doesn't mean we should. Advertising exists to induce you to spend money.
Practice room conquests trump tweaks any day for a guy like me. Don't know if the same applies to a guy like you.
ENJOY your new baby!! | Yes! It takes time to figure out where you are now, do that before spending ANY money. There are plenty of great players WITHOUT heavy caps and round tuning slides getting all sorts of music played well. I think you should give the horn at least 6 months to a year chance before trying to make it something that it isn't.
