So what was your impression of the horns you played?

Hello everyone,
Over the course of the past few months, I have had the pleasure of testing a number of leading Euphonium brands. At The European Brass Band Championships 2022, I got to meet Miel Adams and Ruud Corstjens and test The Adams E1 Euphonium and The Adams E2 Euphonium and this week, I had the opportunity to test The Geneva Oldroyd Cardinal Euphonium and The Geneva GVL Cardinal Euphonium.
I have been absolutely blown away by the innovations which is currently taking place in regards to the development of the Euphonium and it has made me curious to find out a little more about the differences between each of the leading Euphonium brands.
I have become rather curious about the specific materials used within the creation of each instrument and their impact on the overall quality of each instrument for example how does a Sterling Silver Bell on an Adams E2 Euphonium compare with the nickel bell of The Geneva GVL Cardinal Euphonium and the yellow brass bell of a Besson Prestige 2052-2 Euphonium.
There are so many different choices currently on the market and I was curious in trying to find out more about the durability, responsiveness and overall affect that each metal material has on the overall instrument as a whole.
Thank you so much for all your help and support.
Best Wishes,
