David, I think you missed post #6? Peter, I don't think Lynden is claiming they're British, it's just my title here which was much to do with Lynden's brave step to go seek out a manufacturer and "market" his horns here, albeit mostly to his students it seems.
This seems a similar set up to what Becky does at Jericho horns, albeit she's marketing them more generally. And that's an excellent student horn. Are Jericho British? Yes, they're a British brand made in China.
It may be that someone equally as fervent as Roberto Buttus heads up the design shop for whoever makes these and over time Lynden may ask for tweaks too. Certainly the instant Lynden switched to either of his altos from his MkVI I could hear the brighter, buzzier, tone of the Goldington but what student really wants to pay 6-10 times as much for a MkVI?
I guess we'll never hear a Sequoia vs. Goldington play-off, unless someone fancies a trip to Bedford?
