"I'm impressed with the quality of the Edwards
products, and by the
consistency of tone through the different registers that seems
to be a
hallmark of their trombones. The modular concept allows you
to customize
a horn to your specific needs, and their consistency of intonation
and
response makes it easy to change to another of their horns
for another
musical genre. These horns hold up to the loudest playing,
and speak
easily in the softest applications."
