Kamarag Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The Dynasty stuff is inexpensive but not built to last. the Yamaha trumpets are pretty good. the Yamaha tubas are very good. The Dynasty brass are inexpensive because Dynasty knows charging loads more is a rip-off. Kanstul horns are very good, but they are not worth the extreme expense. As for being built to last, the Dynasty baritones and euphoniums are the most durable marching brass I've encountered, and that includes more durable than the Kanstuls. The Dynasty euphs in particular are the best marching euphs on the market today. If I was putting together a line from scratch, I'd use the Dynasty baritones, euphoniums and mellophones, and the Yamaha trumpets and tubas. (The 4/4 Dynasty tuba is a very good horn as well. The 5/4 isn't). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_Bass Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I would go with Dynasty tubas. I've tested Dynasty, Kanstul, Yamaha, and other marching tubas, and the two I like the best are Dynasty and Kanstul. They project better, and are very sturdy. Yamahas are good for indoor performing.

randomnoise Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The King 1121 is the best mellophone ever. Has that come out in the last year? I have done thorough testing of all the mellos on the market, and the King was not as good as the Yamaha 204. Please give details. I have spent a lot of time on this and would love to get your input.

DanoZ Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Dano...you should still answer Chris; question about the type of music you plan to play...it DOES make a difference. May be jazz,I'm not sure.We like the devs a lot here. One more question,why many corps change back to baritone? euphonium have darker and larger sound,isn't it? Who knows their reason for changing back again? p.s.I love all your answers here. better than marching band forum in Thai.so sad :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
