Intonation isn't bad at all, even out of the box. I'm sure the OP has long since picked a horn and been playing on it, but for searcher's sakes (and since I couldn't find any opinions on Atkinson during my research) here goes:įor the money, I'm impressed with the horn. And then decide which you like best for your money. If you like the A102B, check out the new Hans Hoyers. If you choose to go with the A800 you might want to look at the Yamaha pro-series. My Suggestion on Atkinsons in order of my preference. And with changes going on in the music world (although I am a Conn affectiando and play professioanlly on one) the large Conn sound is being replaced for a more assertive style sound (Paxman and Yamaha). I believe, from the feel of playing side, they are a crossover from the Holton to the Conn. I don't know a lot of players who have them but those that do play very well and they LOVE THEM !!! I haven't heard a bad one yet. There are some fantastic !!! Hans Hoyers out right now. Be sure to talk to one of his experts about what you want and how much you like the Conn. If you are able and willing to spend money you would be very happy with an Atkinson and it would be unique. It is a big horn and takes air and support. I asked because I have seen many people want the Conn and then when they get it they can't handle it. If you like the Conn and can play it comfortably then good.
