        Beautiful horn, Michael!! Mine is now over five years old, and I still love it and love looking at it.

            A few thoughts after the first week. I'm still trying to wrap my head around Dave and John's comments about letting the horn resonate. It happens more often as time goes by but it's hard to describe what I'm doing differently. The horn seems to resonate more when I'm trying the least. The E3 is incredibly responsive meaning I don't have to work as hard. And this is true in all registers.

            I'm trying to figure out the intonation and the AGR. G concert in the treble clef staff is sharp and works best using 3rd valve. The C concert below that staff requires the 4th valve slide to be out 3/4". Otherwise it's very consistent. It's SO nice not to have to play G3 1 and 3!

            Once I get into better playing shape and buy a good digital recorder, I'll post some excerpts.
