All lovely boxes gentlemen. I like the saltarelles and serenellinis a lot (played a nimbus 2 1/2 row 12 bass a couple of years ago - fantastic). If money were no object though, there's a brandoni 2 row I have half an eye on. However, this particular question is specific to the 2 models above, as that's what I'm dealing with here. Basically, I've been offered a trade on my mengascini (which is a great sound but a bit sluggish to respond) against the lilly (faster and louder, but left hand tone not so good, IMHO).

Cheers, Jon
