Yes, their Heritage returns haven't been a favorite of mine. I don't have a desire to buy a new Klipschorn, Lascala II, Cornwall III, or Heresy III as these still have the original exponential midhorn out of respect for PWK.
The late Forte II and the Chorus II did not have the exponential horn and had a Tractrix variety that still sound good to me. These were last produced in the late 80's and early 90's.
I still have the Forte II and a few years ago sold my Chorus II to a friend. The earlier Chorus I and Forte I did not have a tractrix midhorn.
The Forte III, revisited with Roy Delgado key involvement, is an invitation for purchase. Hopefully out mid summer. It appears its midhorn was borrowed from the proline.
