    Need help deciding between new horns!!!

    I emailed Miraphone in German and was treated very well...prompt response and quick solution to my issue.
    I'm sure, however, that they are perfectly fluent in English. I just like to practice and show courtesy to non-native English speakers.

    I think that Roger Lewis, formerly of WWBW, is Miraphone's US rep. If so, we are in good hands. He was great at WWBW and very consumer-friendly.

    I shall be testing this hypothesis shortly when I ask for some valve guides and a set of those PVC things they use instead of felts between the bottom of the valve cap and the top of the valve. Never seen anything like them, but they work.

    Need help deciding between new horns!!!

    I've had a great Miraphone experience with John Ferguson at the Horn Guys. I had an issue with my 5050 not having a mp, but John and his crew did an outstanding job in resolving the situation.

    Euphs:
    Miraphone 5050 Ambassador
    Wessex Travel (Tornister) Euphonium 'Maly' ER154
    Yamaha 201 Baritone
    Mp: Wick SM4 Ultra X
    Groups:
    The San Diego Concert Band

    I think I'd go with the Miraphone...but then, I play amateur tuba, and just love the sound of those Miraphone euphs.
