Hello everyone-My son and I are trying out a Willson 2950 and a Hirsbrunner to see which he should buy. He is a high school junior planning on majoring in music, perhap a military band career as well. He currently plays on his schools' King 4 valve non-comp. horn. He has also tried my 35 yr. old Besson, but wants someting better (!).
We are using a 51D mouthpiece, his usual one. The Willson is big, with a big sound, but the high range is a liitle tough compared to the Hirsbrunner, which seems freer up high, but somewhat stuffy in the midrange. Any opinions out there? I feel that he will grow into the Willson, and the high range will improve.
Thanks for any input.
Rick
