The oriam is GIGANTIC, bigger than the Kanstul 15XX series. So watch out what case you get for it. I've played the B1, and find that its to "trombone" sounding for me. The horn needs to be played like a small bore trumpet and I just don't get the fluffy-ness of a more compact horn. The B4 sounds like a winner. AustinWinds makes a killer flugehorn, i recommend checking it out, and its around $1700 new. I would love to try the oriam, i have only seen one. The other flugel that i VERY high on my list is the Taylor Phat Boy.
