@Kehaulani said in ITG Conference Update:

I can understand the financial precariousness of cancelling this, but it has to be kept in mind that this is not only a conference with, perhaps limited enough of an attendance to justify its still going on, but it should be kept in mind that they have to get there. That means, for many, the use of cramped public transportation and airlines, and that puts the conference in a totally different perspective.

Remember, the conference is at the end of May. This could all blow over before then.

As of now, the International Trumpet Guild Conference has not been cancelled. Read here:

Boy, I love those engraved sterling silver bells!

Such a timeless trumpet. I love my Radial.

@administrator Do we want to start a thread about trumpeters playbacks?

Yes, let's go ahead and do that. Sorry for the tangent.

I dig that setup. I will upload a photo of my new "setup" soon. It's "sub-$5000", but I quite like it.

@administrator Links don't work

I wonder if that's because your are in Europe. They work just fine for me.

Ok, now you're just making me jealous that it's not sub-zero temperatures in Key West.

I have found SGW to be one big ripoff these days. Only occasionally do I find a good deal.

An unusual find. I believe this is the first C trumpet I've seen on here.

If it were me, I would strip the lacquer off the horn. I love a good "raw brass" Bach. But, I understand, that does not solve the issue. So, again, if it were me, I would kindly ask the tech to refund the money I spent, and then I would strip the lacquer.

From a legal perspective, your only way to be made whole would be to sue the tech and win in court. Although having a good case helps, it's likely to be far more expensive than purchasing a brand new horn, or having it repaired correctly. Some states won't allow you to collect attorney fees in consumer damages cases, even if you do win.

I've gotta get my Conn 2B cleaned up and then I'll post it!

A repost but well worth the time:

@ROWUK said in Phaeton customer service sucks!!!:

The thread owner needs to clear some stuff up. Nothing makes sense.

I agree. Not entirely sure what the purpose of this thread was. Is Phaeton an independent manufacture?

Great. Made a sticky.

Wow, that is beautiful.

Beautiful instrument!

There's a tongue-twister.
