Willson has just come out with a new Sax Horn. I understand these are popular in Europe, especially France. Characteristics of a Sax Horn are a smaller bell than a euphonium, a very conical shape, a very long lead pipe with the tuning before the valves and a bell closer the the player than with a euphonium. My question to this group is does anyone here know the tonal differences among the euphonium, baritone and sax horn? When would you choose one over the other? In looking at the general configurations of early double belled euphoniums, they strongly resemble the sax horn. Could this suggest that the double bell developed from a sax horn? Could a double bell substitute for a sax horn? I know a lot of questions......
