    I have both of these instruments (906 & 374). They both sound and feel very similar. The 374 has a lot of resistance in my experience. I would have to defer to a Pro player to really tell the...

    I wonder if they measured the outer diameter of the tuning slide to get the .630 mm bore?

    Hey Larry,
    most of the catalogs don't have the 8566, but here is a web page that does.

    Interesting, I guess they'll include the 8566...

    Wow, thanks Larry. May not be much incentive to purchase the 8566 over the 7566.

    I should mention that my 8566 is bright silver plate, but not frosted. I noticed when I first received it that it was different than what the pictures showed.

    Yeah, I should have followed up about what she meant by "drip", lol. I'll need to do that as I'm still a bit fuzzy on the details.

    Oh, I was referring to these. The picture on the left is of the 8566 pulled from the Cerveny website, and the one on the right is of the 7566 pulled from a website called Kirstein.de. It looks like...

    In a reddit post about the Cerveny Emperor, someone who played them says the Master Line is similar to the Besson Sovereign and the Premium is similar to the Prestige. That got me curious since the...

    The only other model that compares in price is the Besson 767. I assume it's made in Germany. It's debatable on how you think the 767 would compare to the Cerveny, though.

    Recording Tuba vs Sousaphone

    Hello,
    Does anyone know what the difference in sound would be between a 6/4 recording tuba like Conn 2XJ and Holton vs say, a Conn 20K Sousaphone? How about in a marching band?
    And I have heard...

    Ah, I have to tell you I won't be much help in telling you that! I play with a huge mouthpiece and am consistently flat, but I mainly play for myself and don't mind. Slotting is something I...

    I'm also curious if there is any similarity between the Emperor and any of the Geneva euphoniums.

    I do live in the US. I bought this last year from LA Musa Instrumentos, which is in Spain, lol. They were about the only retailer that sold them at the time. It was just a bit over $4000, which was...

    From looking at pictures of the 7566 on the website you shared, Larry, the 75 & 8566 look very similar, except for the trigger. Maybe the 7566 doesn't actually have a red brass bell?

    I have the 8566. It's a great horn, but I haven't played it in any large venues to say whether it sounds much larger than the other horns I've played. It's nice and sturdy at 10.5 lbs. It sounds...

    Yes, the threading on both is the same. In the picture you can see that the 4th valve bottom caps have been switched. They both feel heavy and sturdy and are the two heaviest horns I have. They feel...

    It's interesting how two horns can look so similarly, but one (JP374) has more resistance with a slightly darker sound. I'd like to learn the physics concerning that.

    I feel like the 374 and 906 are made from the same base horn. The leaspipes may be angled slightly differently. The bottom bow ferrules are different in appearance. The tuning slides are identical,...

    Lol, I also have a Radiant Brass EP160L, which is the Jinbao horn. It's the lightest and has a different sound, which is still good. It was refreshing to hear when I first played it.

    I have a Sovereign 967, JP274 & 374, as well as the Thomann 906 (I'm an amateur that likes euphoniums). They all play similarly in my experience. The 374 & 906 sound very similar. The 906 and 274...

    I had my Eastman 526gs handy and got these measurements. Not completely sure if I got that right? This doesn't add much to the convo, I was just curious!
