Awesome looking beast, absolutely awesome -- but how does it play? As good as it looks?

It's indicative of Lee's good-natured manner and talent in the shop that he was willing to take on a horn that was custom (re)built by someone else (when Lee does that type of work himself) and do such a wonderful job for Big Bob.

Lee is talented and a nice guy (he didn't even want to ask me for more money for the ecstra work he did!!) I'm very satisfied IF I ever get my horn!<S>....He also took the top main slide tuner off which was causing vibration and added a new water key.....He, even machined the Conn. cap to make it look like the others that was great!! Far more than antispated!! He also was kind enough to call me to let me know what he was doing while fighting bad head cold so I wouldn't worry...Wasn't that nice??.......................................................................................BB

This started life as a Gnagey creation, or am I confusing the fat-bottomed girls in my mind?

Yep, it's a Gnagey, tweaked by Lee Stofer.

Lee did a fantastic job..very large sound I think... I have never played anywhere but my room and to go out for lessons.. I'm thinking about taking it to slippery rock and see what mr. BoBo thinks about it <s>.....BB
