Well I myself have played one YFB 822 I thought it was a great horn for the upper register but the low register was nothing less then horrible, but I have heard that is because it is an older model, so you might want to check a new one. I have also had the chance to play a YFB 621 and actually own one which I love(thanks Matt). As for the YCB 822 I recently tried one at the BB in Indiana and IMO it was a veey hard to get a response and had a boomy stuffy sound. If you are looking for an all purpose horn check out the post of the PT 3 for sale or look at the MW 2155's or Getzen G 50's.
