Sure, it sounds good, but where's the back-to-back play against the PT6P?

Yeah! I bet Tom couldn't play one of those.

Not sure what you meant by your statement of " I bet Tom could not play one of those", could you clarify.

Just so you know, as well as others, I have owned a real PT6 in the past and have compared the new model together side by side this year. The main difference is in the sound. The PT6P has a noticeably brighter sound and the 900 model (Chinese Horn, if you may) was much warmer and had a better core. Not sure if this would come out in a video

I thought one of the cons of the PT6 is that it lacks brightness: really "boring" sound. hmmm

I'm just yankin' your chain. I know what you mean.

How dare a horn salesman try to sell us a horn! Oh the outrage! Next thing you know mouthpiece makers will be trying to sell us mouthpieces!

OK, I've grown tired of the complaints I've received about this thread. The OP was merely pointing out some good playing performed by a SPONSOR on one of the horns he just happens to sell. Yes! It was originally posted in the TubeNet section. After receiving complaints about it being off topic, I moved it to the clipart section where video clips as well as photos are really supposed to be going. After then pulling the post because people felt it was a shill post to help promote sales for Tom, I pulled the thread in hopes that it would all blow over and be forgotten, thus keeping the peace. Well, it appears that this was a futile effort on my part as I am now receiving complaints about it having been pulled. So I'm now restoring it and those who complained can now either deal with their frustrations on their own or contact Sean and voice your complaints to him.

First and foremost, Tom is a sponsor and has paid for the privilege to promote and sell his horns here. HE IS NOT DEMANDING THAT ANYONE BY FROM HIM EXCLUSIVELY.

Second, so someone posted a video of Tom playing one of the horns that he sells and played quite well. SO WHAT!! That does not make the OP or anyone else a shill for Tom or his horns any more than it makes me a shill for singing the praises of my favorite horn manufacturer, Miraphone.

Third, if any one of you feel that I'm not qualified to act properly as a moderator on this board and feel you can do a better job at it while maintaining a full-time job in the real world, HAVE AT IT! Contact Sean right stinkin' now! The thread is restored and will remain restored.

My apologies to Tom for not having taken better care of this sooner.

No need for appologies, i think that you are doing a great job.

One thing I will say to all is I have never nor will I ever ask anyone to post something on my behalf.

I do appreciate the recognition on my playing as it helps to keep me inspired. Doing now 100 videos on youtube have many purposes. I started by showing what the horns I carry sound like and have expaned on making different play lists demonstrating excerpts, etudes, solos and practice techniques. Some are videos of horns I sell and some are not.

I run mack brass as a musician first, not as a company that I rely on to pay my bills. I have never met Marty but it means a lot to me when a post like this is made.

Regards,

Tom.
