[TPIN] "Crushing A Student"

[mike magers]

Sorry I misunderstood you, Lou.  I thought you were lumping the Yamaha in with the Chinese instruments when you wrote this.

"By the way, it's not just FIRST ACT horns....ALL of the Chinese horns I've seen stink. 
 
Then there is the ever-lovely YANAMAHA.  That's right YANAMAHA!
 
Hey, maybe there are acceptable Chinese pro horns, but why would anyone want a pro horn that is merely acceptable?Lou"

Mike, I am THRILLED when students have Yamahas!  I think they make the BEST student instruments for the money!

I had a student who received a full scholarship to Berklee that played a Yamaha (he no longer plays a Yamaha), and another who received a full scholarship to Eastman who still plays a Yamaha.  I have the usual arsenal of pro and custom horns, but I own 2 Yamahas myself.  In fact, I recently bought the Yamaha Eric Miyashiro, and I think it's an incredible instrument.  It's not about "imports"...It's about Chinese junk.
