I would wholeheartedly reccomend Matt Walters at Dillon Music in Woodbridge, New Jersey. He built my horn, and he did a wonderful job. My horn fits me like a glove. The mouthpiece comes exactly to where my mouth is. The valves are placed in the most comfortable position, and the left hand slides are accessable with a minimum of strain. He built the Leadpipe from scratch after listening to me play on the horn a little. He built the perfect leadpipe for my articulation patterns. Matt likes to use the bells off of older obsolete horns because he feels the brass in the older horns is a purer mix. He will not have the horn lacquered until after you play it a month, and no more modifications are needed. He is very conscience of what you need and want as a performer. There is no better!
