    Thank you very much. I think he’s going to really need some time to get used to it. It sounds like an Adams. It really does. If he can figure out the intonation, it will be an incredible horn.

    I own a Mack brass Euphonium and a Wessex Dolce. The Wessex is definitely better, but the Mack is still a heck of a horn.

    Edison Pen, of course! I really like Bexley and Howard Levy is a great guy. But my favorite pens are all Edison Pens.
