I have always liked Conn horns. I guess it is a generational thing. Father had a Conn, as did his dad (grandad had a new world, and dad had a Director). I got the Director I have back in middle school to have something to play with. The horn will blast compared to the Besson and Yamaha.
I have herd some good things about Selmer and Shilke, as well as Bach. The Strats are supposed to be good. But I would take a Conn Constellation over it though. Especially one of them that has the trigger first. The Yamaha had that option at one point.![]()
One thing that I will definately say is don't skimp on a horn. They literally come apart at the seams. Especially when you can get a used one for about the same price and have Besson, Conn, Yamaha, or Bach. Evidence below.

haha, wow.
My bro payed like $2500 for that schilke, but it's amazing. I *think* he has the S22, but it may be the B3 model I'd have to call him and ask for sure. He also has a Conn Flugelhorn, which sounds amazing as well I love it. He's only ever let me play it once, he rarely plays it himself it's in mint condition.
