Any suggestions for new horns?

[solidshi8]

Hi,
I’m looking for a new horn with a little more resistance than the Hagmann valve. Currently I’m thinking about Edwards t350hb, t396ar, Greenhoe , MW… Any suggestions?

Without knowing anything about your playing level/experience what ensembles you play with you will just get people listing their choice of .547 Bb/F horns

What do you play on now?

In the words of Sabutin, try everything and use what works for you

are you thinking boutique/ modular....is your playing at the level where this will make that difference?

Are you at college? If so what does your teacher say about your current set up?

Or you can add to the list you put the Bousfield Getzen and several others

Vegasbound is right. We really need to know a little more about what you are playing now and why you think you need more "resistance" (note that I used the term in quotes because I really don't know what you mean).

If you really want more physical resistance, have you tried a mouthpiece with a smaller aperture? Maybe even a smaller mouthpiece in general? Change in leadpipe?

Sometimes when you think a horn is "backing up" on you or being an air hog, it may be because you aren't playing it right. A session with Doug Elliott (or any other good teacher) might help fix that.

Resistance is ez to add
Open is harder to achieve
