B&S, VMI, Schmidt.......

Post by Davidrn1 »

are the 3301, and 3302 models of these horns all the same?

It seems that they are all made in the same factory.

However, I have heard that there are some differences between them. If so what are they?

Thanks for the info.

The 3302's bore numbers, as far as I can tell, count the 5th valve, which is larger than the 4th. 1-4's bore sizes should be the same on both models.

The bell flare seems identical between the two versions as well. The B&S PT-2 is identical to the 3301, too.

Oh yeah -- the last WWBW picture I've seen is quite skewed. It's unfortunate, because it's a good-looking tuba.
