great find, Lambros (the Magenta nino)!
Did someone try out the cheap jinbao selmer copy?

I think so too, Dirk and it's been just over a year with it. Fantastic little horn.

Ooh, beautiful horns, Lambros!

Thanks Dirk!

I guess what ultimately matters is if it works enough for the individual that's really going to put the work into it. So far so good after a year and my inner ear has it closer to alto in feel more so than soprano. It's not as extreme as the piccolo which I also play. The Magenta Winds nino is a fantastic SA80 II copy.

Sounds excellent Dr. Cohen and I heard this when you also demonstrated the Gershwin on your curved nino. I like the sound of the Conn on this clip and the Selmer is ethereally beautiful.
