How's the workmanship/metal(weight) on the 57 compare with a Regent?

actually, there are 2 of these tenors on ebay by the same owner. as for the metal, i personally have no experience with any of the kohlert horns so i can't compare. the B&H Tenor that i have, is lighter than my T-500 Yanagisawa, but the quality is quite good. also, suprisingly comfortable ergonomics. that said, if speed is you're game, it may not cut the cake.

apparently, Boosey &Hawkes Oxford models do not have rolled tone holes, so they are not a Kohlert Bixley or "57" stencils...sorry for the misinformation.
