Wessex "Wyvern" vs. Eastman 832 - go!

Post by barry grrr-ero »

I'm looking for input on the Wessex "Wyvern" vs. the Eastman 832 (not the popular 836). Thanks in advance.

The Wyvern is much bigger and more open overall. It’s also a good bit heavier. I prefer the playing characteristics of the Wyvern over the Eastman. Much more open low register and better intonation in my experience.
