> [Photo] Yamaha 668VN - Full Double - 4400 US $ > http://www.hornplayer.net/advert.asp?id=5419
I know of a 668N (Nickel) and a 668ND, same but with detachable bell. I confess my curiosity was raised by the price, as a 668ND goes for just under $3000 new. This http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/winds/product/spec/brass/horn/p_main .htm#dh says that the difference is hollow versus solid valve rotors (and lacquer, but I'd think no lacquer would make it cost less, not more). Perhaps someone could explain the difference between hollow and solid valve rotors and how that might effect cost, playing, or both. Thanks in advance.
