I know Michael Parker plays the 632 and is very happy with it.
Obviously a very nice copy of the Miraphone (1)91 for quite a few $$ less

I played the 562 at Dillon and it was amazing.

The 562 I tried played extremely well. As good as the GR51s I’ve tried.

Those are the 191 problems...near zero resistance, normal mouthpieces wobble in it, wacky intonation in the 12/3/23 region. so they got that right.

From F# to A if I remember correctly. Quite a bit sharp. Both 1291 and 191.TheGoyWonder wrote:Those are the 191 problems...near zero resistance, normal mouthpieces wobble in it, wacky intonation in the 12/3/23 region. so they got that right.

I spent some time with the king 2341 copy and the new piston c . I was very impressed. I actually liked the b flat better than the c. Both good horns.
