My son and I both have 191 5 valve rotors. The one I have is very special, ask anyone who has played it.
I love the piston 3302 because it is easier to play cleaner technically and it is actually more in tune but I just love the sound of the 191 in gold brass and the heavy valve caps make it better. The 191 takes a little more effort to play and it is definately not easier except that the rotors are easier to use in that it takes less effort and finger strength.
The sound is what keeps me on my 191.
I want the 1291 BBb when it comes out and I am sure I will be getting a 1291 one day in the next 12 months.
