I've played Bessons (all), Willson, Courtois and the Yamaha.

For starters, they all blow differently, despite having the same compensating system.

Bessons have the darkest sound. Yamaha are a bit easier to blow, are closer to the Bessons in sound but tend to break sooner when playing loud.

Willsons are slightly sweeter in sound than the Bessons. Courtois, I'm still uncertain as i've only played this once. It's free blowing with its own unique sound, somewhere between a Willson and a Besson.

I've only seen pictures of Miraphones and Hirsbrunners.
