Hello!
I am very sorry if this topic has been spoken already, but I cannot find much information about this comparison. I know that this is a very subjetive question but, wich would you prefer? the german 2007+ version or the 2006,2000- version if you were looking for an used? In terms of sound, intonation, response, wich are the characteristics of each version? Are the parts like valve buttons, valve caps upper and bottom are interchangeble between those? Am I able to buy heavy valve caps from the prestige and put on the old sovereing? Is there any way to know from picture wich model is wich without asking for the serial number? For example I have noticed that the right handrest is melted (?) to the uppper bow of the instrument whereas It is suspended and soldered on the german model.Is this a good way? Or there are british sovereigns that have the hand rest separated from the bow aswel?

This is handrest that, just by looking at It, I am assuming that is from a later Sovereign made in germany. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you so much!
