I’ve had my 480 for a few years now, and I was faced with whether I wanted to buy a custom neck or upgrade the horn. After trying a few options, including both the 62 and 82z, I determined the horn I had was fine, and I ended up with a te1 neck, and it plays like a dream. YMMV, but I couldn’t justify paying $5,000 for an upgraded horn when the improvements are so minor.

I have an H-Couf Superba 1 tenor by Keilwerth. I bought it used. My instructor at that time played the same horn. She gigs like crazy. I am really lucky to have found one. I am considering a second horn to play certain types of music and the reliability. I started on a Yamaha student model. I tried out a Yamaha and a Selmer while looking for a horn to buy. They were both new and I liked playing the Yamaha better. I think that if I buy something now it would a YTS 480 or a YTS 62.
