I ordered mine from Chuck Levin's in the D.C. area: http://www.wmcworld.com/ and did it all by telephone. I don't recall who I dealt with, but I called (301-946-8808) and asked to speak to the "person...

I just remembered, I spoke with Lee Walkowich (http://chucklevins.com/wmc-staff/lee-walkowich/) I don't think they had Eric's model in stock, but Lee was able to track one down for me.

I have two of these bad boys. Fantastic horns. More open than the Berg and lighter than the Berg as well. Kinda reminds me of an old CG Benge I used to have. You can feel the bell flex between your...

I really appreciate all the great input but unfortunately my taxes didn’t turn out as planned (lost a dependent) so I’ll have to hold off for now. I WILL get one of these eventually.

I've never played the EM horn (nor the WB horn), although I'd like to. I have played the Chicago and the New York. (Like the Chicago, don't like the NY.)Having said that, and most certainly NOT...

Doc is certainly the man. But I will say my jaw hit the table the first time I heard Eric play Maria live. For the cadenza he stepped around his microphone and up to the edge of the stage and...

I've only heard Eric live once (St. Louis, 2006), and met him briefly in the hotel lobby. I was so impressed that I'm now the proud owner of both his "Pleiades" and "Skydance" CDs, and an EM Band...

A buddy of mine is a Yamaha dealer. He says that even thought the EM isn't listed in the U.S. price list, they are available here and the California warehouse usually keeps them in stock. I think he...

I've heard Eric play live twice. To my ears, concerning pure volume (with a good sound) Eric is 2nd only to Maynard, and only when Maynard was hitting on all eight cylinders. I stood behind Eric at...

I have played both models and I own the Eric Miyashiro Model. The Bergeron Model feels a tad bit heavier and in my opinion plays a tad less open. I believe that it was designed with Wayne's Bach in...

Two things. First, Russell, tell your wife that my birthday is coming up in January. Second, lbird2, I may have a lead on an EM horn that's only a few months old and in fine shape. Should I look...

I hadn't looked at your link before I posted that. You'll be happy to know that the asking price, as I've heard from a guy who knows the guy who has the horn, is $2,300.Sorry about the competition!

Lol! - no worries - just horsin' around. I have to say my horn should be a good deal-io, comparatively. It's in really good shape; it has a few cosmetic blemishes - but obviously not brand new. It's...
