 Re: is an o/haul for my Couesnon worth it?

my Couesnon finally completed its journey and returned yesterday after some courier problems. my anticipation and expectations were high after my conversations with Gordon and what others had told of the quality of his work.

the invoice was highly detailed. i like to know what was and what wasn't done and to have it all listed - it took up both sides of the invoice - is great and will be even better next year when i start to wonder if anything was done to suchc and such a part.

assembled it looked very like it did when i sent it - i did not opt to get the keys polished - but it had been oiled with the doctors bore oil.

the real difference came when i held it - everything was tight, firm, smooth and quiet. all the notes came out easily. everything worked as it should. the tone - previously unheard properly because of the atrocious pads - rang out beautifully from pp to ff. wow! and control was wonderful.

i play for my own pleasure and this instrument will give me plenty of that over the coming years. i don't know enough to comment on tuning.

was it 'worth it'? totally!

was it a wise economic decision? if i keep it and use it for the next 20yrs it will be!

steadfastness stands higher than any success
