I've only encountered a couple of these. Great sound and feel, thought the tuning left a bit to be desired. The 45SLP is a better horn in my opinion, but WWBW only ever stocked one of the 46slp's and that one sat for a long time until someone came in and found it workable - for him (the price might also have been slashed just to move the horn). Same configuration as the 45slp but the extra valve doesn't seem to improve things, but it might work for you. I would make sure to test it very carefully and go over the tuning acutely before purchasing one.

Just my my experience.

Roger-really appreciate your help at MIDWEST, thanks! I do have a Titan here at the office. It is in gold lacquer and a beautiful instrument in case anybody is interested-

Thanks!
