I really love the sound of a cork coming out of a bottle. If you’re using a fancy-shmancy bottle opener, it tends to produce a muted pop! If it’s a minimalist waiter’s corkscrew, it’s a crisper pop! And, of course, if it’s a bottle of champagne, it’s a short and sharp pop!
Minimalist waiter’s corkscrew all the way!
Because of its utility, or because it fits easily into your trombone case?
Well given the frequency I carry the trombone around these days, I’ll go with the utility!
But I think there’s something to the “real” way to do things. All these newfangled openers aren’t the same.
