Bought an Eastman CC that Matt Walters designed a few months ago and it is tremendous. Very easy playing, slots well and intonation is very good. They finally listened to Matt and got it right. Very affordable for now!

I was a few days away of ordering an Eastmann CC when I got the chance to play on a Wisemann PT6P clone and fell in love. Both are very good horns but the Wisemann won the day for me.

I played it while Matt was working on my horn. I thought it played great, just like the 2 new ones they had just gotten. I'm thinking of buying it myself, but I mostly play BBb right now.

Isn't it what the Conn 5xJ was supposed to have been all along? You know, after Matt worked on the prototype and before Conn fiddled with it?

The Eastman is similar to the 4/4 Conn in size, but corrected the way Matt originally told Conn to as I understand it. Has a 20'' bell which helps it put out good volume even for an old guy like me and I don't have to lug around a BAT in the bands and groups I play in now.
