Difference between 2341 and 2314W, is there any?

[NDSPTuba]

I've noticed that there is a price difference, but when I try and find an actual physical difference between them, I can't find anything. Even on the King website they have them listed seperately but the both link to the exact same description. Is there a difference other than price? ( I've notice that the W comes in about $600 more expensive ).

Thanks,

James

I believe the "xW" models are the same horns, but include hard cases.


Someone confirm?

W is the special designation given to all UMI instruments that come equipped with an easily replaced cartridge of "right notes". (These can usually be purchased only through the factory and are very costly. Most opt out of this feature, deciding to practice a lot instead, saving untold $$$ on new note cartridges and trips to the factory.)



BAM!

What's worse than the non-equipped horns?

A horn that produces faded notes because I refuse to replace the cartridge......

I knew there was secret to it!!

Not being given much to superlatives, I start my day with "Mostly." It is not as costly as Total, but it is somewhat cheaper.

I read in a catalog that the "W" stands for "With Case" instead of "Weak Springs".
