<My apologies, Lori - I did not write clearly. What I meant was
unfortunately
not what I you read, due to my inartful authorship. I am sorry if you took
offense, as none was intended.>

No problem. Thank you for the apology. :)

<I thought that you were still a college student (you know what folks say
about assuming . . . ) What I meant by the college was that you were not
playing the eepher in the college (or professional) groups, where the
limitations of the instrument would become evident. (The wind ensemble at
CCM a great example, btw - did you play on any of the recordings with Eugene
Corporon?) I think it would be quite difficult to perform at that level on
a Noblet Eb; when you said the Noblet was "alright" I assumed you hadn't yet
played it in a setting where its limitations would be evident.>

I'm borrowing the Noblet as a practice instrument until I purchase a Buffet.
For me, this will never be an instrument for rehearsal or performance
situation. I want folks to really, really like me and not really, really
hate me when I eventually play in public...;) It's important to start off
right with an instrument I feel very comfortable with.

In 1990, I had the privelage of make a recording with the CCM wind ensemble.
The CD is titled "Made in America".

<Again, my advice is to play a bit more on the smaller horn so that you can
better judge what it is you really want.>

So far I love the little guy and can't wait to get my hands on an R-13. I'll
get my hands on 2 or 3 as early as April. There's a possibility of trying
the RC Prestige as well.

Thanks everyone for the information. I'm sticking to the professional line.

Lori
