Hi, Robin!

I did not buy one yet, but it will definitely be the Spada one...You should test it if you get an opportunity...Scherzer are great but not for me...my opinion is that their bell is too big for a pic (it sounds almost like an Eflat) and I have to put too much efforts for the high register. The two pics I liked the most are the spada and the shagerl (they have piston pic which offers very nice sound and not much air resistance). The schagerl and the Spada have similar prices. So I chose the Spada because I am ther client already and they offer to put a 3rd slide trigger which is very handy when is aobut to control high register notes intonation (especially top f and d which I tend to play too sharp).
