[Trombone-l] Butler carbon fiber bells

[Craig Parmerlee]

Out front, they do sound similar.  From the player's position, it does 
take a little time to adjust to how it sounds from there.  It isn't a 
big adjustment, like trying to make a pBone sound good.  You can mostly 
play as you always have.   Overall, I'd say these well-made carbon fiber 
instruments are very viable, especially if a person really values the 
light weight and/or looks.
