The Lidl is a rotary valve horn, and he asked about piston horns. I agree with the suggestion of the Jupiter 582, but would suggest also trying out a King 2341 and VMI 3301, both of which would cost about $500 more. Another option is the Weril J980. It is supposed to be a copy of the Yamaha YBB-321, but costs less than $3k. I prefer the Jupiter 582 in this price range, but you should try both if you can to see what you prefer. The Weril J680 would be less than $2k, but I believe that it is a little too small to carry an 80 piece band, although it would be fine for small ensemble work.
