Testimonial
Jazz -- it's like butter. I can execute the things I hear with no hang ups. The horn doesn't get in the way and it takes everything I give it, and I LOVE THE TONE !

Classical -- WOW! It was a huge sound. Using my classical piece I got a  big and fat, yet still centered tone. Really impressed. 

Section Work -- Again what impressed me most was how the horn would take whatever I gave it and sat really well on top of a section. I also noticed that it seemed easier than in the past. I had more endurance for those long blows without having to manipulate my chops.

Recording -- Putting the horn through the paces it working great!
