Im very picky about my tenor sax and being new to Brissy i wasn't sure who to take my baby to. I was told Morrie was the only man to see. What great advice.
Thank you Morrie my horn plays amazing. It has to be played to be believed and it looks stunning. you are truely a master craftsman.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I am extremely happy with the service and overall improvements made to my Bach Trumpet. I am sure I am playing better. As an amateur late to playing the Trumpet, I played 25 years ago a bit, I really appreciate the time and advice given to me by Morrie. I had a week in Brisbane and arranged beforehand with Morrie to have my trumpet serviced and cleaned and at the end of the week I picked up a *new* trumpet. Morrie also fitted a JoyKey and I have not had to empty once since, it is great, one less thing I have to think about. There is no change in sound and it looks very much a part of the instrument. So thank you Morrie and Better Sounds and thanks to the JoyKey.
Morrie: Rex called us up here at Better Sounds, to discuss an idea he had for alterations to his FlugalHorn mouthpiece. Here are his thoughts on the result! (Rex has quite a sense of humour!)
I came up with an idea and sent some mouthpieces to Morrie at Better Sounds to customise a mouthpiece for my Getzen flugalhorn.
After it was sent back to me and had been tested, I had to moderate my language... this is what I had to say:
My mouthpiece is awful (full of awe).
Being impressed is an understatement.
My gob is smacked.
Cloud nine isn't high enough.
My cup runneth over.
I could go on and on but I don't want to embarrass anyone.
You have created a mouthpiece of dangerous properties.
I know the required range is partly up to the player, but double highs for a flugel are not a requirement. Even so, they are available. Pedal notes are not a requirement either but they are certainly available. In fact, I now have the "fattest" pedals that a trombone player could wish for.
I am now preparing for an overseas contest attempt next year........
Many thanks, and best wishes,
RexIM.
This is the before picture of my son's old Conn 88H Bb/F Trombone. The transformation was unbelievable!
Better Sounds Australia refurbished my son's old Conn 88H B/F Trombone, which was full of dents and had a corroded brace where the right hand is placed. The instrument came back looking like it had just left the Conn factory.
As a professional performer and teacher, I am very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship carried out by Better Sounds Australia
Hi Morrie,
Thankyou for a beautiful job on the flugel. I played it today after you and Paul overhauled it and it played as beautifully as the top range flugels I played in Europe recently.
Thanks again.
Bill
