I looked these up because my interest was piqued! Thought my fellow tubenetters might appreciate some visuals.
Wish these were at NAMM!

Too bad Miraphone couldn't fix the sharp C issue with these. The response rocks though.

Tell me about it. Everything else about that horn is wonderful but I can't deal with the open C being 30+ sharp. If they could fix that without messing anything else up I would be first in line to buy one.TheHatTuba wrote:Too bad Miraphone couldn't fix the sharp C issue with these. The response rocks though.

I have been wanting to try a new Willson 3400 compact as compared to the original Erickson model. I love my 3400 and I am curious as to how the old feels to the new.

It doesn't sounds as big but it has a crispness to it and is a blast to hold and play.
