To answer just a few questions about the FOBES Eb extension that I've raved about:

It helps a very little with notoriously flat E6, I am forced to use the usual Eb right pinky "tuner-key" plus the B/F# "sliver key when playing that note any louder than a mezzoforte. The extension helps so many other parts of the horn, that the very top notes still need a little help.

All the "12ths" are helped in some way. Some more than others. The most obvious improvements are the low E/middle B and the lower chromatics with their 12th equivalents. Overall, the intonation is vastly improved, in addition to the more solid feel of the horn while using the Eb extension.

And finally Lori, if you do get to see our NYC WICKED, do drop by the pit to say hi, and time permitting, get a backstage tour!

I really feel those of you with fine technical question about the FOBES Eb extension, should contact Clark directly. He's very accessible, knowledgeable, and can answer your question better than I. Contact him on his site on the BBoard, or try emailing him at:

Thanks for your interest.
