I am curious as to how players rate euphoniums.
Between the Besson Prestige or Sov., the Willson, the Hischbrunner (sp??) and the Yamaha 642 (which I currently own), who has tried them all? I looked at a Presetige, but the money seemed excessive (with my budget, at least) and I heard a remark that the horn was really the same as a sovereign. I have to say that I like the 642, by and large, but I want a silver plated horn and I also think that four valves in line (as opposed to the two handed system) is easier for me to play.
