Tried one....

I've heard it is very mouthpiece sensitive. With the mouthpiece I used, the pitch was way out. I needed no tuner to reference this. This sound was OK, but the horn felt uneven. This was only one example of the species. Maybe it was the bad one? I have played the 4/4 Nirscl and though much more of it, even though they are supposedly the same horn.

My biggest complaint was that the 5th rotor linkage kept hitting my thumb. That problem would be consistent among the line. There should not be an ergonomic problem of this order on any horn.
