I have tried both the Lidl and Mienl-Weston 18 and found them both to have surprisingly large sound for such small horns. Another couple of small horns to consider would be the Cerveny 683, which is similar to the CC piggy, or the Miraphone 182. These are all rotary valve horns. Meinl-Weston also makes the model 186 (rotary valve) and model 11 (top action pistons), both of which they call 1/4 sized. They are smaller than the model 18, or any of the other horns mentioned, but play surprisingly well. Just don't expect a lot of volume from them. The 186 weighs less than 17 lbs compared to the 18 at about 21 lbs.
