Take three - Hirsbrunner HB 5, Willson 3100, and Miraphone 191.  I play all three as the spirit move.  All are super instruments.  For the novitiate, do not judge any of these instruments after just a few toots.  It take time to learn their characteristics.  I recall Gene Porkorny's admonition - you play the horn do not let it play you.  You need to learn how to do this.  This is true for each of these instruments.
