Well, I have not had good experiences with the Kalison horn (like many), but maybe it will work for you. I was just giving my opinion because you asked. I feel that there are better built horns that have a better sound, pitch and response. I feel the Kalison IMO, has a bland, but bright sound similar to Yamaha tubas. They do not have the deep sound that many tubas have. Some Hirsbrunners' can sound a little "puffy", but even then, they have a full, deep rich sound that is flexible (you can change the sound around: mostly dark, bright, bouyant, cutting etc.) and I feel with the Kalison the sound is not as full, deep and flexible as the other horns you listed. That has been my experience with 'em.
