Let everything that hath breath... Ps.150

"The P. Mauriat PMXT-66R is quite simply the most powerful and versatile horn I have ever played. The bell tones are warm and broad, like the side of a house, the middle register is fat and fruity and the top register is bright and clear, with exceptional tone quality. This instrument is capable of a wide variety of tone colours, from classic, Turrentinian blues sound to a brighter contemporary sound with pretty much everything between.

On a recent tour I played one set each night on the Mauriat and my MarkV1, and I was very impressed by how the new horn measured up. The Mauriat seemed to have greater sonic resources in all four registers, and was mechanically very well put together. I found I could play fluent, wide ranging lines all over the instrument with an amazing dynamic range, from all conquering fortississimo to an intimate whisper. The complex tonal palate allowed my imagination free reign and I was able to draw on a wider range of influences than ever before, from today right back to Young and Hawkins.

Of all the new horns I have tried the Mauriat is the only one versatile to excel in every context, while still possessing the character to allow a personal sound. I think they are going to be huge, soon." Mornington Lockett, London 28.8.2007.

"At last a new horn that sound and feels really exceptional - just like a vintage Mk 6 but new and with a big booty sound - the weight is great as is the response - tuning is perfect and there is that woody/grainy thing in the sound that I've only previously found in my old Selmers... fantastic!" Andy Sheppard, March 2007.
