Looking for a new EEb

Post by daveinem »

Hi,

I am looking for a new EEb to play non-orchestral gigs and quintets on. Does anyone know of a place not too far from Montreal (or New York or Boston etc.) where I might be able to try out a Meinl Weston 2141 or a Miraphone Norwegian Star?

Thanks!

Dillon (just outside NYC) lists a Norwegian Star on their website

They don't appear to have a 2141 at present, but have carried them in the past. Give them a call.

Matt only mentioned Besson 980s and a Starlight. I am looking forward to those, but he has surprised me in the past with things that are not on the website.

I actually have a 2141 for sale and have posted an add in this forum's "For Sale" section.
