Do you expect him to pay many thousands of dollars for an instrument with triggers and then seldom use them? That's like saying someone is "getting lazy" for using a remote instead of getting up and walking every time they wish to change the TV's volume
I realize DPP is a big advocate of the Bb/F/G/Eb tuning these days, but this horn look an awful lot like a Bb/F/Gb/D horn with the Gb slide pushed in. Which I can't even imagine getting a middle if the staff D with in first (like Blair Bollinger's tuning). Idk, curiosity killed the cat I guess. Just wondering.
@amrein I am pretty sure this comment just shows that you are oblivious to the fact that musical eras do not just start, they are transitioned into. I do not remember too many middle age pieces that have so many variations.
What I love even more than his incredible ability on the instrument is that you can see how much he enjoys what he does! Very few people can say that they make a living doing what they love!
@amrein Dont worry paul, you will allways be a better musician and person than this idiot. I am inspired by your playing as well as being such a humble human being.
