I would recomend the Courtois !

I got one just over a year ago. I have played most types including the schilke, Yamaha and the besson and to be honest the courtois is the best of the bunch in my opinion

Its was soon decided that the goat would become the new horn player. The barwoman was extremely puzzled at the bands behaviour as they normally came in much later and were never this friendly after band.....

...... nothing as he was ignoring the soprano player due to the incidients of the night before......

And the Soprano player said 'Ello cock ! you gettin' 'em in then ??

but then again some MD's do have good days too !.....

...... the state of the percussion section who where still drunk from the night before's drinking competition with the Bass Section. Yet no one could understand why the MD hadn't said anything to them........

Yes I have tried a Sterling in the past and to be honest I wasn't very keen on it. I didn't trust the tuning intonation in the high upper register
