Thanks for all of the replies!

CocoboloKid: I actually came across that review recently when I was google searching horns. Congrats on the WSS tour gig! I played one of the Ridenour basses in big band during my masters, and I agree with your review almost to a T. The RH thumb cluster was one of my biggest peeves, the other being that I felt like the keywork was sort of weak and I actually had a few issues with bent keys when I was trying to be careful putting the horn together, etc.

Do you remember how the RH thumb cluster on the Manning compared to the Ridenour? In a perfect world I would love to have rollers on that cluster similar to the LH pinky cluster on a saxophone, but that might be asking too much on a non Selmer/Buffet.
