I played one of Matt Walters' one-offs - it's the Buescher/rotary hybrid they currently have for sale. I believe Scott Mendoker has commented on that horn here on the BBS.
I played several horns at Dillon's back in late December, including this one. Personally, I thought it was one of the best they had. This from a sample section of more than a dozen. However, at $9K+, maybe not quite a "student" horn.
So yeah - there *are* some Frankenhorns out there that actually kick some serious butt. Didn't look half-bad either...
