 Re: Ricardo no longer with Backun?

This has got to be one of the funniest things that I have read in a LONG time!


Let me explain.



Starting about five years ago I was introduced to the Uebel which is a fine horn. And for at least a couple of years thereafter I could not find anything wrong with them, albeit there was a tendency for their global pitch to ride high.


Cut to just a few months ago I was finally ready to get my own. Since I wanted gold plating for my metal eating fingers, the "Rose Gold Superior" seemed the only way to go. I found though that the global pitch of Uebels in general has gotten much much lower (I tried a random Advantage with exhibiting this same problem). That in itself was not a problem......we call that buying a shorter barrel. So upon receipt of my Rose Gold Superior it was QUICKLY apparent that my acid sweat was immediately eating through the alloy of copper and gold. The representative stepped up and replaced the horn with a "24kt Superior" (new, yellow gold version....still not advertised). It was also a lower pitch horn, but also had a little quirkiness as far as the internal pitch. It took longer to figure out that the issues of flatness would NOT be correctable without reworking the bore and undercutting (if even that would fix the issues) and I was forced to give it up.


The up shot is that Uebel and I have parted ways and I am now back to Buffet. I guess that makes me an innovator as well.
