Re: Ridenour Noblissima Disappointment?

Eric:
I know the quality of key work was the number one complaint on some of the first runs on Ridenour's horns. I've never had any issues with my newer Libertas, but I'll admit it's not as good as other premium brand's key work.
I'm going to assume Tom avoids - like the plaque - creating a high gloss finish on his horns. So many equate (inaccurately) that rubber is plastic. High gloss would further confuse the consumer into assuming it's a plastic horn. It definitely isn't. The matte finish appears more like grenadilla (my opinion).

I have a sneaking feeling you're going to get the bump and bruises fixed on your Ridenour and you'll fall in love.
