Product: 4BR Roadtest: Wallace Collection Eb Soprano Cornet

First there was the Schilke and then the new Yamaha Xeno. So is the new Wallace Collection soprano, a mix of Scottish and the German better than both of these?

Product: 4BR Roadtest: Yamaha Xeno Soprano—YCR8620

July 13, 2006
The battle between the new generations of high quality bespoke soprano cornets is now hotting up. 4BR has had its hands on one of the newest that is trying to break the Schilke monopoly to see if they are, as Noel Edmonds might say—THE DEAL OR NO DEAL.
