This horn is incredible! It's easy to play in every range and there are no pitch concerns at all. The 825V started as a EBB562, had a fifth valve added after the fourth and its bell grew an inch. The first valve slide has one leg reversed to aid in moving the slide without grabbing a handful of slide grease or coming over the top to grab the slide crook. This model is in yellow brass with a gold brass mouthpipe. It has an American receiver and during my brief time playing it, the Tucci SP5 absolutely rocks in this horn.

We will be getting several more of these instruments in as they become available. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

So, the gold brass/hand made from sheet brass didn’t make it into production version?

We are still waiting on our shipment of five which is supposed to contain a mix of yellow brass and gold brass versions. We'll only know the final numbers when they arrive. Sorry I can't be more specific but I don't have any further details.

Did I proportion these instruments approximately correctly, or not?

My “research “ says the more correct comparison would be to a b&s gr55 with 5v and gold brass options and more accessible slide wrap which isn’t available anywhere else, if that’s important to you. I would suspect the Eastman to be 40-50% less money.(an included hard case factors in there somewhere, mine’s in the attic).
