Get a Miraphone 191 5V Gold Brass.....BBb. Most people could play this horn easily,- it's free blowing. Change mouthpieces and it'll work for quintet. There is lots of color to the sound. Charlie Krause introduced this horn to me while he was at Brook Mayes and we just bought 2 of them. Great HORN!!!!!! Valves are outstanding. If you want a Concert BAnd only horn, get a Rudy Meinl 5/4 BBb if they players can fill it up with air. Also, the MW Orchestra Fafner from what I could see looks attractive but I never played this horn and it may be difficult to get. A Willson BBb is a better choice than the Miraphone, if you have the extra $$$ in your budget.
