[TPIN] Destino #20 for Sale

[Michael Anderson]

Jon,

I couldn't agree more, but in this case - where the original Destino is
concerned, he approached this endeavor quite differently than any of his
previous equipment endorsements. When this horn was made, the company was
100% his. He did it all. In no other case in his history of endorsing
products was this the case. This was his passion for several years and it
shows in the product. I think applying that "stamp" in this case is not
accurate. I say this because we had Doc at our school in the middle of this
period and he sent a dozen Bb and C Destinos here and they were all
extremely good trumpets. They were all played and approved by Doc. Tim's
horn was the best of that batch.

BTW, I also hear the new Kanstul Destino is also amazing.. Different, but an
extremely good lead horn.

MA
