Thanks for the shout-out Mark.
I consider these totally on-par with the other American classics.....a 10M, Martin Comm, King Zeph, Buescher pre-Selmer 'Crat. Completely off of most folks' radar.
Too much early, old negative stuff still floating around online regarding Holtons...most of that commentary based upon horns which were far, far, far from good playing shape. Yet if one looks at more recent feedback, from people who are playing ones in good tack....a very different picture gets painted.
The shipping drama was getting to be a bit much for me, though....I cannot imagine how it was effecting you....
