Hello there, all I can say dude is bad times here the last 4 months. Family are going through hell. As for the horn I still smile when I blow her. Have not shedded at all the last months, only play at my gigs but I really enjoy playing the Lupifaro then. As some say and me its like a great MKVI cross SBA and for just pure tone its the best. Got that Borgani vibe also. You need to test one dude. Hope your doing well and gigging a lot, cheers Dave
