I'm not too familiar with the Yamaha horns except that their manufacturing control is so good that the student models are apt to be as good as, or better, than the hand made custom version of the same instrument. Try before you buy. The Conn 6D design was the original Conn professional model.

What about the non-Conn 6D look-alikes (e.g., Olds, Buescher)? A.C. The Bueschers were stencil horns made by Conn. Internal factory designation was 110D, I believe and they were made in the middle 1950's. Mark L. ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe

Would you prefer another pronounciation ae,g, die-no or dyno ? Resistance: without any resistance, it would make it hard to play a very soft p or pp, right. That is the greatest problem for most players, old, young, skilled or less skilled. Yes, there is some paranoia within the community of
