Well! As I have said before, I have the complete FO Bb and C line from 1 to 5, partly out of curiosity and partly to have a consistent line around for my as-yet-nonexistent students to try. I don't use them as often as I'd like, mainly because I'm more used to my Schilke rim. But, comparing a FO 1C to a Bach 1C was night and day for me. The FO piece has a nicer rim and feels more comfortable with lots of lip in the mpc (due to the undercutting Mark builds in, I'm sure). As for the C line, they really helped the intonation on my NTC (bigger throat, short shank, plus whatever other magic Mark and Flip have done). I wonder what Mark uses on his WT?

DH,
Mark Curry is a great guy and his stuff is 1st. rate! I bet his piece is pretty small....he is a SC kind'a guy.
