I took the plunge - Stage 1

After reading every thread I could find, I contacted Felix and placed an order for a Stage 1 California Custom. I can't wait to actually get to play one. This forum is the only reason I even found out about NYTC. Thank you to all who reported on the Stage 1 for me to review. I will be sure to do the same when mine arrives.

Stage 1 California Custom
Reversed leadpipe
Z bracing
Rimless Copper Bell 5 Inch Bell
Round Tuning slide
Brushed lacquer with polished slides,trim,and inside bell.
Asymmetric bottom caps.

Re: I took the plunge - Stage 1

Thanks,

I am excited, but that 4 month wait shouldn't be too bad. I'm so backed up at work, It will fly by.

Re: I took the plunge - Stage 1

Glad to see another one coming! We've talked quite a bit, and I think you've picked a wonderful horn! Felix and NYTC seem to be coming up like crazy! (I've got 2 friends ordering them soon- Stile442 here on TM is getting one this summer, and a friend I went to school with is ordering one in January. I'll be posting pics of mine when it arrives, too-should be only a couple weeks left, I hope...it's been 17 now...I'm getting impatient! lol.

Crowmadic- A California Custom is usually $2500-talk to Felix if you want to get really really specific. But that's what mine cost me, anyway, and I've got a ton of options like that on mine too.

Re: I took the plunge - Stage 1

The best thing to do is talk to Felix. There are so many options on these horns no one bu thim can quote you a price. Even if you get the same horn as me the price of raw materials may have changed. Plating/finish also changes everything. Felix is a great guy to talk to and he will treat you right. I will say, for the money you will not find the same value vs. price tag on any other horn.
