The Bachs are very good horns. They are the center of the sound world in many ways. They have set the standard for many years and what anything seems to be compared too for the most part. Find a good one that matches you and you will have a very playable in almost any situation.

Now are they the best??? Not really. That is just because maybe you want a completely different sound for some other situation. Maybe you do not like being like everyone else. Maybe you just come alive on a Schilke.

The sound quality seems to be better as of late like they are made better (however finish seems to have some nitpicking issues, which for 2400 bones or so it should not have) but for the price it definitely opens up the choices available to you quite a bit.

For the difference you simply must give other horns a blow to see if something really stands out for YOU!!!
