My New Eclipse Babies!!!!

PH · 02-19-2007, 11:40 AM

Hello, TMers-

I just spent the past week in Luton visiting Leigh, John, and Carl at the Eclipse shop and renewing acquaintances and making some new pals including Eclipse artists Alex Yates, Noel Langley, Henry Lowther, Tom McNiven, and also TrumpetMike, Will Spencer, Nick Smart, and Giles Wittome (among others).

I brought back a new Eclipse MR Bb and an MR flugelhorn and I can't wait to get through my old email and phone messages so I can start practicing these beauties. I'll give you a full review on the horns as I get going with them, but the first impression is basically "love at first sight"!

Hopefully, Alex will post photos of my new babies...along with her gorgeous new cornet (which is pretty enough to be sold in a jewelry store).

More soon...

Pat Harbison

Congrats! Hope you pigged out on Indian cuisine as well!

what finishes did you end up going with?

Fantastic Pat!

I'm so envious of you...... I'd love to own an Eclipse let alone two or more....

I can't wait to see pictures.... I've been looking for a reason to replace my keyboard and monitor. I'm sure as soon as I see the pictures; my keyboard and monitor will perish in an unfortunate salavation incident!

Alex Yates · 02-19-2007, 12:03 PM

Ask, and thou shalt receive!

The litter of three - PH's Flugel and MR and my cornet.

Pat's gorgeous flugel. (Congrats mate!)

Pat,

Congrats!!

Joy to You,

Richard

p.s. Ohhh, photographs! Nice. Beauties all. Alex, what mouthpiece do you fancy for the Cornet?

Alex Yates · 02-19-2007, 12:07 PM

Yes, we "smoinked" on Curry quite a few times. It was obsolutely delicious and quite a treat.

Another view of the "litter"

I think they are stunning.

Wow!

Congrats, Pat and Alex. Soundclips, please......

Hi Alex and Pat

Congratulations on aquiring these lovely horns...I am looking forward to the reviews. I would really like to know how the cornet and flugel compare....my Jupiter flugel will not last forever.

I am glad these great independant horn makers are drawing in establishment players Pat..........of course you will be asked more than ever what horn you are playing......

Alex I love that word "smoink" haven't heard it in years.......made my day.

Thanks so much Richard. Dan Fisher (North American distributor for Denis Wick) was so wonderful and helpful and located a gold-plated 3B for me right before my journey. It seems to be a good match. Pat heard it and played it and agreed. So, a Denis Wick 3B is what I fancy at the moment.

Denis Wick's son stopped in while we were there as well. That was a nice surprise.
