It's been well recorded anyway. I find that the Mark VI emphasizes the upper tone partials more than the Conn or Buescher does. While the VIs have a great sound it was harder for me to fill it out, especially in the high register. These horns seem to make that easier and are somehow more "three-dimensional" to me. My favorite is the Chu also. It's very flexible tonally. I can play little songs on it just by voicing the pitch, even without moving the keys. <br /><br />Hope you're well...Ellery Eskelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754806219906266323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507365900573255257.post-70467639829443071862010-05-05T16:55:30.625-04:002010-05-05T16:55:30.625-04:00this is a fun video. good blog, ellery.

(....with your tone, you make a tin can sound good- always inspiring)<br /> (....and wow bill haven't seen him in years. send my regards when you see him)<br />assifassif tsaharhttp://hopscotchrecords.com/noreply@blogger.com
