O.K., If we narrow it down to Eb and BBb, which will be easier to blow when I'm 80? When I get a car I usually keep it until it's ready for the junk yard. Not too long ago I retired my 1986 Escort. My purchasing habits are similar for other items, buy them for life... . So, would the Weril 680 with it's bore diameter of .689 be an easy learn and not require the lungs of a marathoner? I don't think that me, my family, friends... would be able to differentiate my tone generation with that one compared to a 5k model ..... Good enough for a hobbyist and occasional public player? Is there a better model out there for that price or a few hundred more? Silver better than lacquered brass? How about when playing in the snow flakes?
