For those who are interested, this is how the new horn sounds.
Pros: Good intonation, Free-blowing, nice dark tone.
Cons: Not so great key placement, terrible thumb rest location, 1 working neck.
I played Donna Lee because it’s like the hardest head on earth so I would almost instantly be able to notice the horns strengths and weaknesses.
Verdict? It’s no Mark VI, or even a Yamaha Custom, but for $400 it was definitely worth it. It definitely beats my frankenstein Yanigasawa.
I know. Lame musician stuff. Sorry.
