The MW is a much bigger horn compared to the Mirafone, so you canLt really put these two in comparison.The Mirafone is definitely an extremely nice addition to the small market of FINE BBb tubas,but for symphony orchestra it just doesnLt get the ff-power and pure size of sound required to please conductors,trombone sections and - the player himself in that kind of situation...I canLt say anything about the King horn because these are not available here in Germany and I never had the chance to try one.The sound of the new MW"Fafner" might be best described if you try to imagine the combination of a 5/4Rudi with a little more focus and requiring a lot less air and a huge version of the St.Petersburg tuba...
