Intermediate-level euph for doubling?

Y'know, I have a Yamaha 201, and I find myself playing it more often than the 321. They go for a lot less, and if you are not serious, or running with 4th valve snobs, you and your bank will be happy. The one I have is silver, and it does make a difference. Very responsive.

If the cost is your major factor ($1,000), I'll sweeten the Weril on you once more: $1,080 brand new (lacquer model) with a nice case and a 6.5 AL knockoff mpc to boot + other accessories.

You can't beat that anywhere for a new non-comp. 4 valve euph with a solid sound. I tried an Allora (made by VMI) but was pretty disappointed with the tuning.

Why is everyone so focused on new horns? They're so expensive and the old ones are better anyway. I've so far had nothing but good experiences with all old Olds, Reynolds, Martin, Conn, and King baritone/Euphoniums while I've had nothing but bad experiences with Miraphone, Willson, MW, and Yamaha. The new horns with the large mouthpiece receivers tend to play out of tune. My favorite is an old 3 valve Reynolds with the nifty dohickey for moving the tuning slide in and out. It's the best $80 I ever spent.
