Josh.....absolutely no offense taken in any shape or form !

If anything it's me , ribbing Tom a bit for not really having made ( in my view ), the improvements I think one would like to see on this bass . The matter of the bell having to be set off center so that its key doesn't fall off the lever is now fixed however .
The plating is now silver not nikel ( personally I prefer nikel...less upkeep !)
I was not aware of any changes to the trill key design . I believe the key work is based on the Selmer Privilage with a few differences .( a good basis !)
I suspect that having sold the marketing rights to the Chinese manufacturers , Tom has somewhat signed off on this bass and thoughts of improving it .
I've seen it for sale on Aliexpess , although the price is still 2,900 $ which is a bad deal considering it will not have passed through Tom,s workshop for regulation ...or probably anybodies else's for that matter . These horns leave the China manufacturers completely unplayable and Tom's regulation work or that of a good tech is essential, quite considerable and not something to take for granted as part the deal of getting one . This done....the 925 c is , I think , a clarinet with a lot going for it however .
