Thread: Wessex Dolce vs Yamaha 642 vs Yamaha 642 Neo

  1. Wessex Dolce vs Yamaha 642 vs Yamaha 642 Neo

    From what I know, the Dolce is a clone of the yamaha 642. How does it compare with the original 642 and how do the Dolce and 642 compare to the neo?

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    Rather than start another discussion on the Wessex Dolce might I suggest you read an excellent review on that horn. There are 10 pages worth of discussion here:

  3. I must have missed it, but I don't see any reference to the 642 here at all, 321 yes. Anyone?

    Is a 642 twice as good as a 321? Twice as expensive?
