I would like to second the other recommendations for this horn. Great horn. I'm always confused why the the older style rotary meltons get so little attention compared to the newfangled piston designs. A Model 23(CC version) is on my short list of horns I would love to own. Melton, being the great manufacturer that it is, has continued to update their manufacturing techniques and designs throughout the years. If you decide to pursue a MW-25 try to find several of varying ages so that you have plenty to choose from. I don't follow this stuff enough to know what kind of changed have been made but in my limited experience the older ones are darker and somewhat indistinct compared to the newer ones.
good luck!
