These Istanbul Agop Orchestrals are a serious upgrade for any orchestra or session player needing a refined, controlled sound. The B20 bronze delivers a beautiful warmth and clarity that cuts through the ensemble without being harsh, and the included straps are a nice touch. They're a premium investment, but worth it for that authentic orchestral voice.
