Choosing a Euphonium

(and no confidence in Chinese QC, so didn't consider Chinese brands)

that's what made me question your post. I thought you were saying you avoided buying chinese by buying the thomann

I am considering buying the 902SL. It seems to be cheaper than the Wessex but might not be for shipping reasons. To the best of my knowledge the two sound great for their prices. Wessex sure has made a name for them but something about the Thomann is calling me.

Don't forget the Mack. Tom is as good or better than anybody in the business for customer support, and he carries a great product. I've had several students buy them

MACK-EU1150 If you don't like this instrument, not only will I give you back 100% of your money, I will pay the return shipping costs. These horns are just that good that I am confident that you will love it once you try it. This is one of the hottest models to hit the market in a long time.
This is good, as I know usually refunds of other brands exclude the shipping cost

Is the Mack Brass euph a copy of the Yamaha 642 Neo or just 642?

[DaveBj]

642 non-Neo.

I have a studio-mate that owns a Mack Brass, for the price it's an okay horn, although I find it to be kind of small. I've heard it described loosely as a "rejected Yamaha"

I was so impressed with the packer 274s that I bought one for my daughter. I know of a like new department for sale for $1250 if you are interested
