In Reply to: Favorite Quintet Horn posted by Bean Counter on July 13, 2003 at 10:48:52:
In quintets, I have played the YFB-822, B&S F, Cerveny Piggy CC and 3/4 Rudy CC. I prefer the Rudy. The pitch is the best out of the four, the response is very quick & easy and the tone is full & supportive without being too broad. My biggest complaint with the Yamaha was the pitch, the B&S was the low reg (even though my horn has a very good low register for a B&S, it was still took more effort than I preferred to give), and the Piggy was the evenness of the response. They're all great horns for quintet, but I prefer the Rudy.
