I have a neck from Eastern Music on my Yani and it is great. Service is also good . Easy contact and they have the measurements of the receivers on all the available brands of horns. You sound really good on yours.
I have two and in general the sound is great. As I remember they are Balanced Action copies. But the intonation when playing the palm keys is way to sharp on my Selmer series II tenor. Even if I play very relaxed they will not play in tune in the high register. So stopped using them after a while.
❤ Cool fella. Definitely great necks. Gear. As you know I've got 9 !!!!! Of their necks. Truly great. Spot on. Ya don't need to spend stupid crazy high cash for a neck. Sounds wicked mate. Top tones 😊
Was the quality consistent across your 9 necks? I've read some things saying that there were some QA issues with necks they received. Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that if you get one that is manufactured as intended it can sound great, but knowing that there are inconsistencies even with modern Links and other mouthpiece brands, I'm almost willing to pay the extra for one that I have more confidence that it will be precise in order to save the trouble of return shipping.
