The new Lewis Dürk LDx7 is a Schmidt style double with a thumb rotor type switch mounted on the piston for a more traditional change valve feel. The change valve piston can be inverted to either to F or Bb standing. It is still a little awkward to hold but not impossible (I have small/medium hands and have been playing Lewis Geyer style horns for the past 28 years) but the open sound is wonderful and I am looking forward to a longer test next week. I know that Dürk will be in SF for those lucky enough to be free at that time - our season still has a month to run! _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
