I tried a new PT9 (new name for the Symphonie) last summer. The valves were very fast and light, like the old ones, but with modern linkages. Unfortunately they shortened the lead pipe and made a few other changes that I couldn't see. I A-B it with my old B&S at the Hollywood Bowl on Die Meistersinger and the new one disappeared as the orchestra played louder. The sound was much smaller and response much slower than my old B&S.
