<Hear hear - a truly profound statement. I'll freely admit that I often
toot my own horn (No pun int...ah, forget it) when it comes to my
equipment...but in all truth an honesty, there has been absolutely nothing
more valuable than long tones, articulation excersizes, and the Klose'
mechanical excersizes.

Take the comment however you like, but however you may take it, it's still
the truth: what you got ain't nowhere near as important as what you do
with it.

So fer you yung'uns who are still playing Vitos and Artleys with
symmetricuts...you remember that. You ain't gotta have an Opus or an R-13
to be a better player. If you try hard enough, you can make that horn
sound pretty dangon'ed close to anything that comes with tenon rings.
Just love the music enough to persevere.

Geez - it's 1:30 am, I'm stinkin' 21 years old, and I sound like a music
teacher, God help me...>

With wisdom like this, it looks as if he already has.
