Besson trip - and I'm coming back to the US!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know that my trip to the Besson factory in Markneukirchen, Germany was awesome. I left on Tuesday, March 27 and flew from Manchester to Frankfurt (really big airport... too big, really...) and then took a regional flight to Hof. Hof is about a 40 minute drive through the country to Markneukirchen, and has some really pretty landscape.

During the testing I played 52 horns in total. About 30 Sovereigns and 22 Prestige - I think. It was great getting to play that many instruments at one time, and they all played EXCELLENT!

While in Markneukirchen I got to sample some of the local cuisine (and beverages - can't beat em'), and really enjoyed two days away from Manchester. Living in a big city has really got me thinking that I don't want to live in a big city - although I'm moving to Phoenix next year - let's hope that my neighborhood is quieter than my dorm room.

Anyway, I get to come home on MONDAY! I am doing a slightly different route this time and flying through Atlanta. No real reason other than I couldn't get a ticket on the American flight through Chicago, so I guess that's a good-enough reason.

One quick thing - I got a factory tour at the Besson factory, and have put up a new webpage on it. Check it out here. The next time I update I will be home in the US! See you all soon!
