[Trombone-l] Is the Blessing Large bore still a good horn?

[Raymond Horton]

Back in the 90s or so, when I had a bunch of students buying large bore trim bones w F attachment, I remember feeling that the Blessing was about 90% of the quality of the Bach 42B for about 55% of the price. Is it still true?
