... Then there's the old one about the man who orders a bowl of soup in a restaurant:

Diner - "Waiter, would you please come over here?"

Waiter - "Yes, sir? How may I help you?"

Diner - "Taste the soup."

Waiter - "Is there something wrong with the soup?"

Diner - "Taste the soup."

Waiter - "Is the soup not hot enough?"

Diner - "Taste the soup."

Waiter - "Is the flavor not to your liking?"

Diner - "Taste the soup."

Waiter - "All right, if you insist, I'll taste the soup. Where's the spoon?"

Diner - "My point exactly!"

@ROWUK Thank you, ROWUK. I still don't see pricing for the featured new products, though.

Could turn out to be great; time will tell. I'm not a fan of secretive pricing, however. Is this one of those "If you have to ask, you can't afford it." deals?

Chicago - Crisp, fresh, edgy, exciting.
Leonid & Friends - Packaged, mellow, predictable.

Chicago gets my vote. Leonid & Friends - close, but no cigar, as the saying goes. Wait... doesn't Arturo...? Never mind; Chicago gets my vote.

@ButchA Methinks you're not a stranger to electric guitar. World class licks there, my friend!

Gloves don’t fit!...

Just a thought though...
I wonder if they sound as good out front as they do from 8” behind the bell...
...There's a way for you to resolve this....

@SSmith1226 WOW. What a story! Thanks for the link!

Three versions of a fair deal:

1. Both parties feel they got screwed.
2. Both parties feel it was a fair deal.
3. Both parties feel they screwed the other guy.

@djeffers78 Congrats. Keep it lubed, and tolerate its shortcomings. It's not like you had to take out a home improvement loan to swing the purchase price. Bottom line... pocket trumpets can be fun if they function reasonably well, and it seems as if fun's why you bought it. Enjoy!

Perfectly worded and composed. Precise, concise, and absolutely educational.
