In my admittedly amateur opinion, the fact that playing a different horns seemed to solve your problems isn't something you should take too seriously. Try a different horn, but try it for a few weeks. Many people find that, although a different mouthpiece or horn seems to instantly solve most of their playing problems, those problems, plus others, appear after a few days or weeks with the new gear. I'm not saying you won't still love the Paxman, but don't be sure about that until you've had time to really see how it works for you. -S- _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
