RE: RE: Email controversy, change of topic

Hi, Darren!

 It could indeed be that Besson made a run of "dogs"  Unfortunately, IMHO, we 
got 'em!  We get by with them, and they are surely better than the old student 
cornets most of us had if we had cornets at all, but I like my (and most of 
the others I've tried) Getzen Eterna cornet(s).

Hey, weren't you going to be moving to the San Francisco Bay area?  I'm about 
to do so in 2 1/2 weeks.  I'm going to need a core of good cornettists if I'm 
going to start a San Jose Brass Band (I'm dreaming, I suspect.  I'm not good 
at organizing things like this, but I'd sure like to see one start.  I miss 
the IBB and I'm not even gone yet!)

I have two of the band's Sovereign cornets.  One is probably about 15 years' 
old, plays very well, and is the one I use.  The other is perhaps four or five 

years' old, and is horrible to play, mostly on account of poor intonnation and 

dead feel/tone.  I know a couple of others who feel exactly the same;  maybe 
they went through a bad patch?
