Hi,
I could use some help on ideas of what horns to test play. There are so many choices, I need to narrow it down.
I'm looking for a horn that tends to have a dark, spread tone. I also want a horn that is free-blowing as I prefer less resistance to more resistance.
I'm open to modern and vintage horns. I'd prefer to spend less than $6,000, but I would be willing bump up my budget by selling one of my other horns.
I currently play a P. Mauriat System 76. Even though I own two Mark VI's, I play the Mauriat because I feel more like me when I play it. It's darker than my VI's to my ears. My VI's were made between 1964-1966.
What should be on my short list of horns to try?
Thanks for your help!
