Hi can anyone help me?
I have been renting a Trevor James Horn revolution II alto and now the time has come to decide whether to pay the balance and buy it, or look at other horns. I like the TJ but there have been some problems - I have had to get the neck cork replaced as it fell off, various other bit of rubber & cork have also fallen off and the rod that holds the left hand pearlkeys keeps coming out - I have to screw it back in on a weekly basis & this is depite me being very careful with the horn. 🙁
It is the silver plated version and I'm not 100% sure I like the brightness and prefer a more smoky sound. I know that my playing and things such as mouthpiece will affect this though.
My teacher likes the keilwerth horns and recommended an ST90 but I also know that there have been really good reviews of the Bauhaus walsteins.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
Emma
