Mr. Cooper, as a man who seriously studied a brass instrument with the intention of becoming a teacher and professional player, I can honestly say you are more than a superb hornist, but an ARTIST as well. What you have can NOT be taught ! You demonstrate unsurpassed technique, intonation, and beautiful phrasing. I also appreciate your "smaller" centered tone quality. As a music student in the 1960's, early 70's, it was becoming fashionable to try for a bigger and bigger sound that was " all over the clock". My favorite uncle was a professional hornist who played on a custom made Geier to his personal specifications. When I hear you play, I hear my beloved uncle of blessed memory and get tears in my eyes. Thank you for your artistry.

Good luck at Berlin! Although, am I the only one who is sad you will be forgoing that beautiful Lewis horn to play an Alex 103 with the Berlin Philharmonic?
