Hello, I have been away form the music scene for a few years. An old friend came back to town and wants to start an ass-kickin Dixie, swing and blues band. For the Dixie stuff I will be using tuba of course. I had purchased a VMI 3301 before hard times made me sell it.
Well, now I am ready to purchase another horn.
To you all, what do you think is the best horn for the money and why? PLease choose form the list of horns that I have narrowed it down to.
VMI 3301
King 2341
Jupiter 582
Conn 5J
Yamaha 321 or 621.
I am not a big fan of rotary valved horns. Sound is to "thumpy" rather than nice and clean. Just my personal preference.
Thank you very much for your insight and help.
Have a happy holiday season.
