<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>IMO, the brass is too soft of a =
termination
point. It tends to bleed through, into the tail and bitter ends too =

makes for a really "airy" tone. I've tried all kinds of things to make =
that
area better, but to no avail. What's really weird, is that from a =
distance,
that area sounds just fine! Go figgger!</DIV>
