I played an 822 for 3 years, and liked many things about it. My chief complaint and one I've heard voiced by many others is that the articulation on these horns is extremely difficult to make sound separated. Staccato etudes in Kopprasch and Blazhevich were nearly impossible for me to play satisfactorily. When I began using the school's 4/4 Hirsbrunner while my 822 was on consignment, I was shocked at how well I could play staccato, the years of trying to make the yammie work must have really helped. When you try the 822 pay really close to the articulation, that would be the most likely thing to be a deal breaker.
