William asked: PS: Speaking of Yamahas, every one I've ever played on is stuffy. Has anyone else had this experience or is it just me and my personal preferences?
--------------------------- I played a Yamaha 862 for several years and found it to be as open, or even more open, than an 8D. If I remember correctly, the 668, 668V, and 868 are also all Kruspe wraps, like the 862, but are constructed with a "tighter", or more compressed, wrap. I have not played any of the x68 Yamahas, but perhaps the tighter wrap results in the horn being less open. I believe your opinion of Yamahas always being stuffy would change if you played 10 minutes on an 862.
