I had an Allora 191 (Woodwind/Brasswind's) Asian version of the Mirafone 191. It was a good horn. I made a side-by-side comparison between it and brand-new Mirafone two years ago and the 'sameness' was quite good. I found it interesting that the copy was good enough that many of the parts would interchange.
