          It's a gift from Heaven. It has so many textures and so easy to "turn" the horn on between them. I have a very large bell in between that of a traditional trumpet bell and flugelhorn bell (#7). It can sound so mellow during ballads, and with a harmon mute, it plays with the sound from my Martin Committee. Yet, when I put my 5mm Jettone copy in, it peals paint as a lead horn. It plays with essentially no resistance, makes the upper range as relaxed as in the staff (which makes the upper range sound relaxed - when I want it to). Just an amazing instrument.

            Yes, but do you like it?

            Nearly as good as I need to be. Not nearly as good as I want to be).

                Having played Dr GO's Harrelson... It is a great playing horn, can confirm.

                I remember when he was first trying them out before he purchased, I came to a gig where he was trying one out. I had to put it down before I got tempted to spend all the money I have for one!

                  That is a down side to Harrelson horns (and mouthpieces). They are rather pricey.
