 | I played an Eclipse Trumpet! Wow, I had the chance recently to play an Eclipse at a lesson with Alex. Holy cow! What a horn! The thing was built to withstand Nuclear Holocaust. The bracing was strong enough for me to use the horn to beat somebody with! (Not that I would)  The detail of the horn and craftsmanship where superior to anything that I've ever had or played. The intonation, response, and free blowing nature of this horn make it a real treat to play. Leigh has got it spot on! Good show! Lara and Chuck I now envy you more then you know! |

| Thanks guys... Well, as you know Chuck it takes one Heck of a shadow to eclipse me so Leigh has really done something here. I was just blown away at this horn. Your right; if I can ever get the coin together me and Leigh will be dealing. For now I'll continue to work on my creative side if/when Leigh does another one of those contests. Great horn man really; I just can't shut up about them! |

| Gary, Your killing me.... Trent, I'm envious! I just could not get over how that horn felt and played.. I was like Tim Allen (Tim the Tool Man Taylor) I picked it up and it was so darn rugged that it felt like a power Trumpet! I was like Ugh Ugh Ugh..! Leigh has really got it spot on... If I could justify it with my wife I'd most certainly be ordering one Monday morning. Beautiful horns! |

| So, what you're saying is that the timing of my phone call to Alex was just right?  Another minute in your hands, and... do we really want to go there? "I don't think so, Tim!" I have a whole list of the "Best reasons to buy an Eclipse", which I'll be very happy to share.  Cheers! Bruce |
