Hey Greg,
I truly love the piece you made for me. It held
up to everything I could throw at it in the concert
last. Mars, Uranus, Jupiter, various marches, as well as the Randy Bass
arr. of the entire John Williams' Star Wars Suite. A
Euph heavy concert indeed! I believe this V cup is great for the
Euphonium.
All the Best,
James
