Can anyone compare the 2 Hirsbrunner E flats, HB 488 and HB 688?
Apart from the obvious (I've seen the pictures and read the blurb at http://www.hirsbrunner.com./instruments/html/index.html ), what are the differences in playing charactistics, intonation, etc?
I've tried E-mailing several dealers, but, apart from vague promises to send me a quote, I've had no resonse. Where's a good place to buy one of these horns? How do the 488 and 688 compare, price-wise?
Cheers,
