UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?

could not be better ... really late and so right ... so long as!

a breeze, which can really play the entire length of the handle without having to break your wrists!

it all depends on the research ... but on average, I think so

yesh

alembic ==> U5 ==> amp any lamp ==> 2 * 10 + 1 * 15 MESA ...

you can spend on the well-acute fatty snoring is the amp (and thereby blow the amp ...)

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

Sounds pretty high medium or acute. Can be compensated with the electronics but the register "natural" the bass is at the top of the spectrum.

OVERALL OPINION

9 good months, and regularly

the sound is excellent, and playing comfort as much ...
I do not like the stuff ... I see ... if not too! the handle is too long (so uncomfortable to play in the long run!

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

a few ... including a carbon Schack it without comment ...

- How would you rate the quality / price?

alembic on a nine, I find it a bit excessive (quoique. ..) then for a time, it's happiness!

no doubt ...
