    Another interesting question, I think (maybe not interesting enough to deserve its own thread), is: Are there any horns you regret getting rid of? I got a Willson 2950 my senior year of high school,...

    What sources are you using to come to this conclusion? Not being contrary here, just genuinely curious - this topic has always interested me.

    Honestly I doubt they measured anything. They probably copy/pasted a spec sheet.

    If you're serious about studying euphonium *performance* (vs. music education, comp, business, etc.), it might behoove you to save the money you have right now and continue saving up for something...

    If this was their version of the Sovereign, was the Eminence York's version of the Prestige? From what I understand these are fantastic horns, so that price looks like a great deal!

    I guess if you prefer a different example, switch "642" to "321," "Besson New Standard," or "Boosey round stamp," and nothing else about what I said changes. :)

    I understand that, regarding the designs of the horns. What I'm referring to more specifically is the proven build quality from a brand like Yamaha and (NS-era) Besson. Another huge factor for me is...
