Re: Am I out of line?

Lots of opinions.

First the instrument is on a 45 day conditional trial and I can return it. I feel the cracks, there are actually two of them and only one has been pinned should have been disclosed by the seller. I would have never bought the horn had a know about the cracks, I would have purchased a brand new one. IMHO the lower section should be replaced.

When I received the instrument it was unplayable, it leaked like a sive. I called them about the leaks and told them I was going to adjust it or have it adjusted. What's a person supposed to do when they live in the boon docks far from civilization. I suppose I should have just put it back in the box and returned it, but I fixed it. That's how I noticed the pinned crack.

Anyway, it plays just fine, nice tone and except for the left hand pinky finger Eb key works just great under my short fat fingers. Chalumeau D# using the side vent is bit out of tune.

I think it's going back, I'd rather pay the extra money and not have to look at or think about cracks. I'll buy a new one next time. At least the next person who trys it will get a horn that plays

A great teacher gives you answers to questions
you don't even know you should ask.
