I think the King 2341 has excellent intonation characteristics. Very little to fool with. The D series (4th overtone) is a shade on the flat side but almost every horn out there has a flat 4th overtone, its just a matter of how flat is it? the valve intonation is also fine. The big bessons I have played are pretty good too. I like the intonation on those two models better than the European rotary models I have played (Czerveny and St. Pete and MW 25). The MW 18 I played (for only a few minutes however)was pretty good though. Granted none of these horn are top of the line type horns. I do not know how a Willson would be for example. For the price I would hope they are excellent. Yamahas tend to be fairly consistent also.
