Believe me, I understand the trauma, and I have only owned the Holton for a month.
I liked the Rudy, though I could not tell anything about the sound, and though I didn't bring a suitable mouthpiece for it. Previously, the rotary F that had impressed me was the Miraphone 181, but at the conference I was able to play the Rudy and the Willson rotary models for the first time. I liked the sound of the Rudy more than the Willson, but the Willson has the low register normally associated with certain piston F's. These three provide a good selection for those wanting a big rotary F with maximum low-register playability.
