How true! This is exactly what I like with the EDP, as a user. It feels like a high quality instrument that won't let you down as long as you practise on it. Here's a related story: I once got bored with playing guitar and started learning tenor sax, and picked up an Otto Link 9* mouth piece. After hearing some great players using Berger Larssen mouth peices I sold my Otto Link and bought a BL instead. Spent a lot of time reshaping them (yes I damaged some...) and experimenting with changing the size of the sound chamber. After one year I simply did not find the sound I was looking for and got a bit depressed. Then one day, at a second hand store, I found my own old Otto Link!!!!! Bought it back and, with the new skills from a year of practising, I could get a better sound out of it then of any other mouthe piece I ever tried. The bottom line is that I could not see the greatness of that Otto Link when I was a total newbie ;-D Per Boysen ----------------------- http://www.boysen.se http://www.upsweden.com http://www.fuzz.se
