Why did I ever try anything else? Years ago I purchased a a Morgan 8L Tenor and used it for several years. Then for what ever reason I decided to try something different . So I switched to one of the "other" brands , with a well known name, for several more years but became dissatisfied with the sound and playability. In the the mean time I bought a Morgan 6M for my Alto. Wow what an eye opener. Big open sound and free blowing. I decided I need to go back to a Morgan on my Tenor. I made the purchase and last night( 2/3/20) I used it on its first performance. It was a pleasure to play. Just like my Alto, big open sound and free blowing. Now I need to try Morgans Baritone and Soprano lineup.
