Actually Steve, I did NOT say I've played the new Alexes, unless I am actually shopping I do not play-test horns. I have several friends who play these new instruments though, sound is as a minimum the same, glorious Alex sound. Intonation's improved. Build quality is outstanding, linkages nice and quiet. Best sounding horns this past year to my dead, humorless ear were the red brass 163 BBflat that I sit next to sometimes in Tuba Ensemble (AWEsome horn!) and the big 173 CC.

Hope this helps, oh...and Steve I strongly suggest you give LBW a call.
