well do you mean BBb, CC, F, Eb ? since I know I have my own fav's in each category, and they are all different brands....but as a whole I believe that the HB line of instruments is probably the best overall.

Can't vote, since I've only played a VMI clone until now, and I'm not yet sure I like it ;)

I voted other as well. I love the Perantucci GR-41 and my little Yamaha 621F but I will always have a soft spot for the old Alexander F I used to have and I really like the Miraphone 191 5 valve GB BBb & the Miraphone Northern Star Eb. There are just so many great horns & makers out there now.

I voted for Yamaha because of the fantastic versatility of my 621F. I have yet to play a CC that I like better than my Yorkbrunner, but I wouldn't be surprized if the "Monica" 6/4 that Yamaha hopes to release someday will blow even better.
