Speaking of Bart Reiter, my good friend Jeff M. lent me his Bart Reiter Whyte laydie this week so I could see if I liked it. And tomorrow I get to go to Arnie Naiman's home to try his Vega tubaphone and he will also have a Bart Reiter tubaphone there for me to try too.
I am one very fortunate lady!
Trying these instruments out really helps. Especially when I can borrow one and have time alone with it where I can relax enough to discern what I like and what I do not fancy about the instrument.

I think I tried a Bart Reiter 'Special' when I was shopping with Guy Wolff but I can't quite remember what I thought about it. Probably because I was too distracted being entertained with Guy's concert he was putting on in the store. I still think we should have put a tip cup out.
Oy, so many banjos.
