Charlie Krause (AT) BW sez that he will soon be offering a 5v version of the Mir. 191. Don't know anything else about the horn. I've seen mixed reviews about the 4v version. The Mir. 189 in the BW catalogue is available on order as a 5v. Heard nothing but good about VMI 3302. FWIW, I was looking into 5v BBb's, but have decided that there is more of a liklihood of finding a great 5v CC since there are many more out there, new and used. Besides, CC fingerings aren't any harder than BBb, same patterns & all that. Only things that still trip me up occaisionally are accidentals, but it takes awhile to retrain 15 years of automatic response.
