The Shires seems to be a great value given the positive feedback I’ve heard and the claim (by S.E.Shires) that many US military bands are standardizing on them.
Thoughts?
What is your sound concept? Shires doesn't sound like an Adams. Or a Wilson. The Yamaha sounds like, well, a Yamaha and nothing else. Who do you like listening to? What do they play? What kind of music is your favorite?
