I bought a PT6 last year and am very happy with it. I have done a lot of research into Eb's and made a lot of calls about them and have narrowed my search to 3 horns.
PT22
WN-20
Willson 3400S
I want to use this horn for Quintet, Solos, and in place of an orchestral F. The prices all fall between $6795 and $7750 so the price does not make much of a difference. I can't seem to find any people that have much experience on the PT22 and the WN-20. I know the PT22 is a new horn so not many have it and not many WN-20's were made, ther're on order but who knows how long that will take. Has anyone played all 3 of these horns and can tell me how they differ? I know the Willson makes for a good quintet horn but how about the others? Do they have as big of a sound? At Yale I will be playing a lot of chamber and solo music so I want to make sure I won't wish I had something a little bigger.
thanks for your help
