Somehow I don't think "destructive" is what you meant. Maybe "distinctive".
Thanks, you win the proof readers award :)
Jonathan...please leave that in the description!!! I think you would sell more by using destructive rather than distinctive. I know it would work for me. :lol:
Indeed! I've always thought for the heavier orchestral works, that might be a better description of the tone required at the climaxes.

Can I chip in that the ProTec sousa bag is not great, so I hope there are some design tweaks there. The shoulder straps are designed for a giant...
