Amati AHEP800 compensating euphonium

[Goten56]

Does anybody own one of this horns?
What do you think of it?
A long time ago, I started plaIying on an oval Amati baritone.
I'm pretty curious of this horn.
Seems a little expensive for an Amati.

That's interesting. There was a recent thread where we discussed the apparent fact that Cerveny/Amati had gone out of business and their workers and designs had shifted over to Lidl. But now there's this note on Amati's web page:

So I guess it's not the full story. Yet Lidl still has a bunch of the Cerveny designs listed on their web page.

Regarding the model you posted, it looks almost exactly like the Cerveny Emporer.

Yeah, and its's only a bit cheaper.
It would be interesting to try one.
I guess it's a new model. There is nothing about it on the web.
I have heard rumors about Amati and Cerveny going out of business, but I think they are too big names to disappear. I hope somehow they make it. B-A-C revived the Benge name a few years ago, so there's still hope.
