“RS Berkeley horns are truly the finest and most consistent modern instruments I’ve ever played. The high quality o craftsmanship is due to their commitment to create highly expressive professional instruments at reasonable prices, making them affordable for both students and professionals. Several of my faculty at NYU Jazz Studies perform on RS Berkeley horns and are happy to lend their support. I’m currently playing the Virtuoso tenor, sopranino, C and bass flutes and love them all”

The power a director has with their choice in rep should never be taken for granted. I’m selecting and preparing folders for all 11 combos and 3 big bands, that’s 42 charts! The end result will be worth it. #therealdeal #hitthegroundrunning #dukepearson #theoriginalKD #olivernelson #originaldixielandjazzband #ineedanassistant
