You were playing them, really ? For how many minutes every horn ?
I would rather say, you test-toot every horn, just checking if anything
was leak, the slides & valves assembled right, no bugs inside the tube.
Playing a horn means more than few minutes, half hour to one hour.
Multiply that by 4.0

According to Nancy Jordan Fako's biography of Phil Farkas, he played
a horn built by Carl Geyer mostly, but switched to a Conn 8D when
needed because he felt it gave him additional security. In other
words the Conn was an easier horn to play. Farkas helped design the
Holton which bears his name

because I feel very strongly about it.
You can buy a very nice Holton, or Conn, or Yamaha for that matter, which
plays beautifully. They are all making very good, professional quality (yes,
