Thank you so much for this! Yeah i fully agree that brass kinda comes in like the koolaid man.
I am really delighted to hear that! I thought for sure I was making some really entry level mistakes with the whole set so its been quite surprising to see so many people enjoy my arrangement. I cant express how happy that has made me and I have more confidence now to learn the stuff getting in the way of better work now that its been pointed out.
Thank you for taking the time to listen at all!
