    Aww, it's okay! Hope there will be others who will get the chance to try the Sinfonico and drop a review here.

    The brace connecting the bell and the rest of the body seems to be higher on the Sinfonico, and also, is it me or is there no 4th valve lock on it? Can't see it in the photo

      Interesting pics. In the pics compared to the Willson 2900 you can see where the top bow is shorter and bottom bow is longer. Overall length has to be the same but that really strikes me as a big difference.

        I went and played this today at the Wessex Showroom. The horn at the showroom didn't have the "copper" highlights, but I'm told it was a "production" version of the horn regardless.

        It plays very much like a Willson 2900, in my opinion. In fact, it played significantly better than the yamaha Neo I tried this afternoon. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but I was. I don't know how wessex horns hold up generally speaking, but (especially for the money), it's quite good. I'm planning to play a JP sterling wednesday at Midwest, so we'll see how that fares in the same price range.
