I've never played a YCB-641, but I have played a YCB-661, and I thought it was a wonderful horn to play. I didn't study it to see if it was the same as a 641 in the same way a Miraphone 186 CC is the same as a BBb.

And you are right--I just checked on Music123, and the 641 is selling for around $6500. That simply amazes me. It's a wonder they sell any at all. Most of the 641's out there must have been acquired years ago. I also noted that my YFB-621 sells for $7200, and I paid a little over $3000 for it as a demonstrator 13 or 14 years ago. That increase is WAY beyond inflation.
