VMI3302 v.s. PT20P

"B&S" on the bell = higher price. Assuming that Custom Music is still the sole importer of that bell stamp, they've got no reason to drop the price any lower.

Other than that, they play virtually identically. It's crazy -- they both have almost the exact same "feel" in how the sound feeds back to the lips. Apart from the fingerings, I'd feel entirely at home on a PT-20 (I own a 3302).

I have been told that B&S, vmi, schmidt and 2 or 3 other names, that I can't remember right now, are all the same horn made in the same factory.

If you have any questions about these horns, call Matt at Dillon. He knows them all and is a very nice guy.

Not quite sure what you're asking, but that looks just like a rotary PT-4. Same specs all the way to the bell diameter.

What kinds of prices have you found for the different horns?
