I would be very surprised if Freddie Gregory had worked on this. It didn&#8217;t seem to play like most of his other pieces I hav tried.\u00a0 It was too mellow sounding and I couldn&#8217;t get any volume out of it.\u00a0 It&#8217;s like I would blow to get louder and it would just get stuck at one medium volume.\u00a0 So what did I do? Yes, you guessed it&#8230;..I sent it to Brian Powell and he put his facing curve on it and put it at .080.
