OK, thanks for the replies so far.
Most seem to mention the Mira 188 so my question is this:
They obviously have great scale but where are they lacking??
'Poor' sound? Poor projection? Stuffy low-end?
Is it just that times change and many folk want piston horns for whatever reason?
I know Alan Baer has likened the new 1291 as a "188 on steroids!". Perhaps I need to wait to try one... (join the queue huh?).
BTW, I'm not against occasional pulls, I just see the lengths some folks go in manipulating their horns to play in tune (or close to it) through the entire range and I can't be doing with all that.
