It has a great presence to it also. I can feel the sax vibrating under my fingers and the sound is huge.\u00a0 Let me know what you think. I can&#8217;t wait to play on it some more and get use to it.<br \/>\nlisten&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/EBPowellHRLink.JPG\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/EBPowellHRLink.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-576-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/BPEB.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/BPEB.mp3\">https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/BPEB.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holy Cow!\u00a0 This piece is great.\u00a0 I just got four pieces back today from Brian Powell.\u00a0 This is the Jon Van Wie refaced link that has a clip posted of it last year.\u00a0 This piece always played nice but didn&#8217;t have any guts to it.\u00a0 I really couldn&#8217;t dig in with it.\u00a0 I played another [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":14359,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1120,45],"tags":[108,173,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-576","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tenor-medium-baffle-reviews","8":"category-tenor-mouthpieces","9":"tag-brian-powell","10":"tag-early-babbitt","11":"tag-tenor-mouthpiece","12":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/63"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
