OK ... so does this mean that there are two complete sets of tooling?
Methinks that's not very likely. So....how (or where) do the cost savings
come from?
Knowing of a certain "history" of spotty horns (some great, some so-so, some bowsers)
coming from Geretsrieg, I am wondering if Besson has simply negotiated to sell the Geretsrieg lemons after ragging and finishing the basic WN horns themselves. This would be no surprise, and certainly fits the tradition of "stencil" horns....
Now before I get fired on for this public thinking out loud, isn't this venue a place where sharing strategy for effective purchase (i.e. informing consumers) is at least as important as politically correct regard for all the manufacturers, dealers, artists, and clinicians who contribute to our field of interest?
That said, I still have my nomex with me...
f.w.i.w.
