And many others...
"Playing this horn is a revelation ... the horn locks in much better in the upper register ... the distance between notes seems closer and I definitely feel the improvement in all-around accuracy."
"One of the most absolutely phenomenal aspects of your conversion is the smoothness of slurs (lip slurs are amazing). The horn locks in and focuses with much greater accuracy. Playing an 8D for 30 years one notices changes and boy oh boy, what a big difference your new pipe makes!"
"The horn is so much smoother and the sound seems very consistent throughout the range. I love the way the tone seems to sparkle and still be very rich."
"WOW!! Needless to say ... I am immensely impressed not only by the amazing playability of this conversion horn but also by your wonderful work."
"Do you have any experience with Schmid Triple horns (F/Bb/Eb)? I'm wondering if you can make it as smooth as the 8DRS is now."
(In playing the horn) "There was not a single place where a note would not speak easily and every one seemed to "place" almost without any thought."
"I have tried the disc under the 4th valve, and am truly amazed! It somehow defies logic, but there is definitely a sort of extra focus and clarity with this in place. What a very strange and inexplicable 'alchemy'."
— Tony Halstead
"an American Kruspe... only better!"
— Tom Greer, Moosewood Horn Requisites
"Love the horn! Response is incredible- even intonation, excellent blend with woodwinds etc. and a heck of a lot more control over the entire range."
— Brian McCarty, Principal Horn, San Francisco Ballet Orchestra
