MW 25

Post by b.williams »

Did the MW 25 ever have a 16.25" bell?

Wouldn't that be a MW 20? I owned a 25 back in the '70's when they were first being brought into the US, and it had a 17.75" bell. The 20 was pretty much identical except for a 16" (approx) bell. Frankly, the 20 was a better playing horn, and the guy I talked to at Getzen tried to talk me into buying one instead. I wish I had listened.
