Re: Selmer Recital

I agree with you Johan on practicing and performing on two different horns.

Being that the initial crack on the front was from the Recital emblem through the A and just into the G tone hole, only two pins were used. The repair tech did want to do a third but it most likely would have run through the A key spring trench since it is fairly deep. This tech will be at the convention this weekend in San Antonio and will discuss this with the Selmer rep with pictures I sent, but their policy on catastrophic cracks is a case by case basis.

I have read that most players noticed a lack of volume with the Recital, but this one had a very large dynamic range. I'm wondering if a replacement joint may narrow this range down not to mention that it will most likely play/feel different since we are talking about natural wood, hopefully it will not be too much difference.
