The poll is interesting, but it hardly displays the true picture of euph demographics.
As much as I stand by the choice of my YEP641, and as much as I find that everybody shall choose the right instrument fitting his/hers wallet and ambition level, then I will say, that a truly investigative poll should have been divided in professional and amateur instrument categories.
There are a number of makers of pro level euphs, which have earned a remarkable following.
Contrary to normal market expectations, the number of makers of amateur/student level euphs earning a significant market share is much lower.
As much as players playing pro level instruments for their own purposes have recommended the top model from Weril as being an extremely relevant amateur/student instrument because its only "shortcomings" are the lack of compensation and a technical finish not up to Japanese standards, as much all have to recognise the YEP321.
It simply is the industry standard for students and amateurs. Especially considering, that it has hit the stencil inroad to the largest school band market of this planet.
As long as the poll directs all levels of euphs, Yamaha is bound to come out on top of this poll.
