Hey John,

I want to apologize. I am sorry for a rather inappropriate diatribe.

There are some folks though that may take aesthetic considerations a bit too seriously. I've some students that are thoroughly disgusted by all the "spit" on the floor after rehearsal and I have to talk them down from THAT.

Speaking of going in with certain expectations, I would also put in a good word for the Greenline concept. The material doe not "settle" after manufacture and does not contort due to exposure to moisture over time. So the instrument you try will be the instrument fine tuned just before leaving the factory. It makes a HUGE difference!

I see your point of concern but I firmly believe that like the finishing process (crappy), the logo and stamping are the concerns of "others" in the process and do not in any way reflect the workmanship of the horns themselves. One last example to put a fine point on it. My Wuriltzer 100Cs (which today would be $20,000 worth of horns) had the cork silencers placed on the adjustment screw side of the mechanism........stupid, and had to be redone. So $20,000 doesn't get you much as far as finishing is concerned either.

....................Paul Aviles
