how does the metal tube sound in person? the EZ bugler looks great for those who have problems with diaphragms. i used to use the bugling bulls that was similar and worked well, before that the power bugle, and before that the infamous terminator (before they turned into the stereotype

)
i have been shifting to smaller./lighter because authenticity is less important than volume, and none of it matters if you don't know how to work a bull well. i was going to order one just to check out, but they were out of stock. before i buckled down and forced myself to figure out diaphragms, i would have been pretty excited about the EZ, looks like a good product, which i expect from Phelps
