My soprano Dukoff D7, bought from a reputable distributor, arrived in a disappointing crooked and rough shape. Joe turned it into a masterpiece. While preserving the Dukoff characteristics, the MPC became very responsive across the whole range, and improved the overall intonation of the horn too. And for me as a mechanical engineer, the superb finish quality by iteself was enough of an argument. Thank you, Joe!
