I own, and use a Besson NS 3+1, along with a Hirsbrunner. However, my preference, if I'm just doing simple band music, or marches, is to reach for the 321. While the horn is an inline 4, one can elect to play the 4th valve with the left hand index finger. Several talented musicians have played the 321, and I've seen Dee Stewart do it over the years, flawlessly.
Factoring in medical concerns, the 321 just takes less work to play, versus my other 3+1's.
I've also got the biggest pair of hands on this forum. So that inline 4th valve isn't a problem. We all come in very different shapes and sizes, and the horn market is rich and diverse with options. And a good tech can make any configuration suitable.
