Need advice on the Hisbrunner exclusiv model and the standard 479 model.
Besides price difference what advantages of the exclusive model gives.
I own a Yamaha 642 and a Mirafone Chevaliar Model.
I am happy with the tuning of Yamaha, however my fellow bandsmen likes Miraphone sound.
But I have to do,I feel excessive, lipping to match the tuning with others, if at all in tune. I have less problems with the Yamaha.
I have tried on the Wilson 2950, I feel the sound is similar to Y642 though the 642 is brighter I think.
That is why I am thinking of the Hirsbrunner.My Mirafone is lacquer, Y642 is siver-plated.
I understand that the Hirsbrunner exclusiv is black laquered with good trimmings.
The standard 479 is sliverplated, is there any is gold lacquered.
My Mirafone has a 1st and third valve trigger slide.I find this helpful, so if I really buy a Hirsbrunner, I will ask for this feature too.
