Doing a Pit job this week where I usually use the Kreutzer BUT, I brought the Marconcini in last Saturday for the first rehearsal and on the break leaned it on the outer Pit wall against the Amp. So, I am using it in the Pit tonight, Friday and 2 shows Saturday.

I am parked along side the piano to my back left and the drums on my direct left with the trumpets in front of me. Two or three times my bass or bow (Fuchs) hit the Ride Symbol by accident in a perfect spot in the music and tempo. I told the drummer to 'write that in'! .. lol

Two years ago I used the Marcucci in the pit for another show as well but last year I went back to the Kreutzer in the Pit for safety purposes. I told another Luthier I was using the Marconcini and he said ' In the PIT?' .. lol.. I think the feel and sound is worth the reward to be nervous here and there with movement in and out of the Pit.
