[Trombone-l] (no subject)

I own the 1062 FDY, and I will sing its praises as long as anyone's willing to listen.  However, I installed pleanty of aftermarket edwards parts, which help it out from really good to great.

FDR horn ain't much different, save it'll bark a little easier than mine :-)

That is until now. For a lot of reasons I'm taking a long, hard look at making the switch to a double-rotor bass trombone, or at least adding one to my equipment arsenal, and would like some input from all of you regarding this and the types of moderately priced horns that might worth looking at, along with some details about their playability if you wouldn't mind. For the last few weeks a tenor player friend of mine I frequently play with was gracious enough to allow me to borrow his Getzen 1062FDR to try for a while. It plays very well. Better than I ever really expected, actually. It is similar on the F horn to the Holton TR-169 I played for 40 years and traded for my current Elkhart Conn 72H (see my recent post "Problem
>  with my Elkhart Conn 72H") in 2004, but that's another story for another time if anybody's interested. And the double-trigger notes pop out pretty good I must say, and it doesn't seem all that heavy, even after a two-hour rehearsal. Have any of you had any experience with  the 1062FDR? Tell all about all of them. at 57 I'm new at all this and am anxious to learn!
