[Trombone-l] OT: The Harmonizer - Tool or Toy?

[Jim Hale]

I'm rapidly approaching my next birthday at the end of the month (#42) and 
am contemplating asking my wife for this for my birthday:

Does anyone have (or have experience with) one of these? I'm currently in 
Theory II in College and want to know if this will help me out and
(possibly) 
also help me with my improv. I'm also looking at writing my own stuff in the

future - mainly Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band type pieces.

Is it worth the $30?

Thanks!
