This is just a short note to share with you all that I am now a happy owner of a R1 curvy in silverplate.
Its keywork is so sealing and comfortable (not too responsive like that of most new horns), the undetachable neck is a convenience, and its SOUND is somethin' else: fat, resonant, something between a soprano and an alto (at times when I reach a low C, or B, it almost sounds like a tenor, as a matter of fact).
I brought it with me to Vietnam, where I played in some wedding and funeral gigs. During one funeral, there were three other bands there, and they had each two altos and two tenors, and every band was playing a different tune at the same time (madness is the word), but someone told me that he could hear the RC curvy at all times. Not only was it resonant, but its sound was so distinctive.
It goes well with my Yani metal #7 and a Rico Royal #3.
