In my experience the Kings project very well. But I would pick neither horn. I prefer the Yamaha model. They are very high quality. They are heavier, a shoulder pad would help that, with a bore close to the Conn. I haven't played a Conn but personally wouldn't stray from the Yamaha. After playing one for 3 years in high school and three more in college, I plan on having them in my band when I'm a director.

P.S. Our university has 20 Yamahas we use as show horns. We have over just as many old Kings as practice horns. Yamaha's are just so much more fun to play.
