Thanks for all these contributions.
Just for information, the horn has been slightly upgraded by bari specialist extraordinaire from Germany B. Waltersbacher (Lahr, germany): replacement of the vertical thumb octave button by a lateral "a la Selmer" left thumb button, linearization of the left hand fifth finger G# button (moves vertically instead of rotating on a side axle) and repositioning of the hanging ring.
As far as intonation is concerned, if no older big chamber mpc available or wanted, a neck extension or a long-shank mouthpiece is of course needed (remarkable experience made with a David Jary custom mpc: very reasonable price, perfect workmanship, fine tuning to your desired sound). Then stays the problem of the ultra sharp upper D, D#, F, F#: THE solution has been the insertion of semi-moon-like cork pieces which lessen the opening (approx 1/8) of four lower end holes .
Back to my initial question, my main concern was to know if structural changes (shape, metal, dimensions) had been introduced between the New Wonder and the Tranny; seems this has not happened.
Thanks again.
