Daruby+++!
It saddens me to read reductionist posts alleging an inherent uselessness of shared experiences, including reviews/evaluations.... Does remind me of the depressing Pilatian "What is Truth?"
While a single review of a horn or other device may -- in some cases -- yield a partial or even unwittingly misleading picture of the target, multiple points of view do reduce the uncertainty by reinforcing shared aspects.
True enough, even a full set of reviews such as this Sinfonico travelling project is unlikely to yeald a perfect portrait of any euphonium, yet what the reader/listener is able to grok from written findings and assorted media music clips is enormously more illuminating than the absolute fog of having to wait for the nexgt ITEC in 2023 without any personal comparative experience
And even a personal experience and preferences does not negate the value of reviews posted by professionals and other respected members of the community.
Thus.... Please do continue to share your findings of Sinfonico and other euphoniums, and... Post music clips if you can.
Regards, Guido
PS. What about a future Shires Q40/Q41 joint review project?
