Ross on the HR* Alto 7M
HR* Alto 7M
This is a solid piece that I can trust
"I have been using a DV Alto 8 for quite a while, but I have found it too bright and loud in the upper register. Trying to compensate for that was causing problems.
Tried the Earth from Theo Wanne but I didn't like the back-pressure and the tone was short and stubby. Have previously also used a re-worked Kessler NY.
I suspected that an HR* would do the trick and it did. Great balance between upper and lower register. Altissimo comes out easily. A nice alto buzz in the lower register.
Definitely not as bright and gutsy as the DV but for me better balanced and more comfortable.
This is a solid piece that I can trust and it will allow me to stop worrying about the mouthpiece and reeds and use my practice time on other things."
