Try the Conn 9D. It's probably the best of both worlds.

Way back when didn't Conn make longer main tuning slides for those who need
to tune the horn lower?

Or try the Holton 8D copy - 188. I'm no expert but I
did try one and it seemed good. Apparently, it is in
its design a faithful copy of a '60s 8D. Apparently.

This was two years ago, but when trying a new 8D along with a new 10D, the
10D was the better horn...

Thanks for the info. But I'd like to know about CURRENT 8D's only. Like
made in the last year
I have recently played a Yamaha 668II and it was a fine horn; well made and
probably easier to play than my 6 year old 8D. But I prefer the depth of
tone on the 8D. The Yamaha is a fine horn but (to me anyway) lacks the
character of my 8D. I do not think this is necessarily true of all 8Ds and

I have played both recently. The craftsmanship of the Yamaha is far
superior to the 8-D. However, it doesn't seem to blow as freely as the
8-D. When buying a new horn for my high school band, I chose the Yamaha
after considering all factors
