Like gchun I also bought the Bach VBS 196 as an aternative the the Schilke P5-4.

Much more free blowing and a great tone/sound. Has a Reeves alignment, an A and Bb pipe. Also a small "G" slide to play Picc parts in G.

I have heard that the the Schilke P-7 is much more free blowing the the P5-4.

If you come across the new Bach VBS 196 before you make a purchase, you may like gchun, decide that it may be the horn for you. Good luck and let us know how you made out.

Stomvi has a hand in the manufacture in the Bach. The Elite has a similar but not identical look, but per KO at Reeves, a completely different horn "inside" air column, alignment.
