I also tried a Durk copy of the Alex 103. The only I didn't like was the lever
on the change valve. For me, it was uncomfortable.
By the way Brent, please give Ray Hankins my best regards.

All,
I tried the Durk D3 at Southeast, which is the Alex 103 copy. It really
surprised me, in its evenness of tone and intonation, as well as overall
response. It sells for a lower price-point, making it easier for anyone to pick
up an "Alex" in troubled economic times. I would definitely recommend that
people try the Durk before committing to an Alex.
