Sorry, but I couldn't keep my list below 6 horns. There are many others I would really like to try out and keep around but this group would allow me to do everything I need to do.
1) Nirschl York Copy CC
2) Either one of Chuck Daellenbach's tricked-out YCB-621 (with an added 5th valve for me) or a really tasty Miraphone 184 CC (modified 5th valve to a long whole step) to use as a quintet horn.
3) Willson Eb
4) A small Eb, like my Cerveny 641 only better. Perhaps a Yamaha YEB-621 (which they don't make. Yet.)
5) Either a true Alexander Tenor Tuba or this one Hirsbrunner Euphonium I played once that was made especially for one of the Marine Band guys with an oversized leadpipe.
6) A really good cimbasso, though I'm not positive yet of which model fits that bill.
My opinion for what it's worth...
