Hi EricV
Shame about the clicking but as you say its probably just annoying if no one else seems to notice.
Yes, I agree.
Re the cornet that Jim Shepherd played in the 60's, i know that Black Dyke and CWS Manchester were among the first bands to convert to low pitch and they used Besson International cornets around 1966,
Very interesting, thanks very much.
My Zeno is great, funny though i have just started playing with another band (groan says my wife....lol) and they have given me a 2 year old hardly used sovereign to try, and i think i prefer my sound on the Zeno, whilst the Besson is great in many ways, im just not sure its any better for me than the Zeno.
I love my Xeno. As GordonH of this forum has said quite a few times, player preference over the Sovereign or Xeno often comes down to whether you prefer a cornet mouthpiece with a tighter throat/backbore (in which case you'll probably prefer the blow of the Xeno) or more open throat/backbore (in which you'll probably prefer the blow of the Sovereign).
Happy banding
Happy banding to you too.
Cheers

Cheers to you also
