I'll second Jay's post. I own the Willson, a fantastic instrument, and have used it in myriad settings with excellent results. However, after playing a bit on the Nirschl Eb at the Midwest Band Convention I'd say that that instrument, as well, merits your attention. Unfortunately, as pricey as the Willson is, I believe the Nirschl costs quite a bit more. If price is an issue, the Meinl-Weston Eb is a lot of horn for the money. Hope this helps.
