| I couldn't agree more with the person said that the person behind the horn determines its quality--Bravo!
BUT...The deal is...Yamahas do allow the player to be less accurate on the pitch placement within each note. (Notice I did not say lazy!)
While the Yamahas are designed to have smaller slots for each note, supposedly giving them the "better accuracy and intonation", this same "blessing" is also its curse. The smaller slots tend to take away the resonance and beauty of sound that another, more traditional horn that forces the player to find the sweet spot of each tone out of a wider possible spectrum may have.
My only favorite horn is the one that sounds best for the individual, so I did not state any preferences here....just trends. I have played with many excellent musicians who use the Yamaha C's as their first line of defense. Whatever your equipment, make it sound beautiful!
