Of course, I forgot to list the Signature when I was running down the line
for "D." I presume it will be a little pricey for him, but, having tried
one, I concur with all your glowing praise, particularly as regards the
exceptionally fine intonation. The raised hole for the left hand fourth
finger, normally just a flat hole, really feels good, even as compared to
one with a ring key there.
