 |  Had a little trip to the Eclipse shop!! and look what I found!!!!!  now which one am I suposed to take home?  I finally wrestled it from his hands  Pick the odd one out.  Mirror image. WOW this trumpet looks 500 times better in the flesh. I only got to have a brief play at the shop but I now know that I am now 'caretaker' of a fantastic instrument. The only problem is I feel like a learner drive who has been given the keys to a supercar!! More photos to follow. |

| Re: Had a little trip to the Eclipse shop!! It certainly makes my conn 22B NYS feel a bit thin(weight and sound) I was worried that the finger furniture might not fit but it feels perfectly natural. What really stood out was how the sound quaility remains constant through all volumes. Until I get to have a few big blows thats about all I can tell you for now. |

| Re: Had a little trip to the Eclipse shop!! Congrats Damian, I just got off the phone with Leigh so I knew you had been by the shop. I'm so envious! Cheers; I'm happy to be a co-winner with you and can't wait for Leigh to complete the masterpiece I know he'll make for me. I'm going to open my own thread describing it now that we've settled. All the best, John

| Re: Had a little trip to the Eclipse shop!! Damo Looks like you've been having a good time! It brings back memories of when I was there last year...I just didn't come home with an ECLIPSE. They were out of my price range  . However, Leigh re-built an old BENGE for me. Absolutely superb. I obviously got to test drive the whole ECLIPSE range though. I really liked the solar bell model trumpets and fell in love with the flugels. Oh, the flugels..... .....Another thing. You live in the UK! Does anyone remember last year? Someone seemed to think that you could only win if you were in the States (or Canada...Ed). I must admit that this view worried me slightly, but now it has been kicked into the long grass. I am definately entering again next time. There is a next time, right Leigh? Damo. Keep enjoying it, and please post more pics. Regards. Dan
