Hello!
You may have better luck if you post a new thread in the main euphonium brands forum rather than posting on this Wessex specific thread. (Although Wessex makes instruments that are a nice entry point to compensating horns. A few on this forum have loved theirs!)

I started on a Miraphone compensating euphonium in about 1994. Then I moved to a Yamaha 641, which I thought had excellent valves, and played better w/ better intonation than the Miraphone. (It appears Miraphone now sells very high end instruments. They were good, but not great in the 1990s, I'd say). I loved my Yamaha but sold it to focus on tenor trombone. I last played an older Wilson 2900s, which I found to be good, but not having the best intonation. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s we didn't have so many choices. I'm drawn to the Sinfonico, but not sure I will like it. Please advise. Thank you!
