Thanks to all the contributors on this thread. I'm at this dilemma myself right now and desperately want to get something quickly with a huge amount of gigging coming up in the run up to Christmas and no back up horn in case anything happens to my trusty old tenor. I say thanks, sincerely, but in truth I'm still as confused as ever, torn between going for the cheapest option (a TWO1) or what I'm really drawn to (a TWO20). And then it's lacquered or unlacquered. I'm in the midlands and there doesn't seem to be anywhere even reasonably close to hand to go and actually try some horns out, even assuming they had several to try in stock, and I've never even held a Yani. So this isn't really a question, as I know no-one can have a definitive answer, but just me feeling the need to pour out my indecision somewhere in the hope that something somehow crystallizes.
