Hello all,
I'm wondering if maybe someone here could go over the basic differences of what puts an instrument into the Romantic category, the Modern category, and the Symphonic category. No need to go into great detail, I'm just more curious what it is that mainly puts each into it's given category.
My thinking is I'm probably more after an instrument in the Romantic category, so I've been looking over instruments again and a few of the composite sets on Augustine's site have caught my attention to try out, so I have downloaded his Sonus Paradisi Great Romantic composite set to try for starters. What I'm looking for is an instrument that would sound and be along the lines of the following instrument in the link below. I'm curious to hear from anyone that can look over the stop list and tell me which category they think this instrument would mostly fall into. I'm going to say this one is more Romantic than Symphonic, and certainly seems to not be Modern, but I could be wrong. From what I've read this particular Wicks instrument has some Willis influence.

And here's a link to a good video of the actual instrument and what it sounds like, the great Chris Stroh at the console.

Would love a sample set of this instrument! Hint, hint to someone I know here in the area that's in the sample set business!
Am I on the right track with Augstine's Sonus Paradisi Great Romantic composite set I've chosen to try? Sure, I know I'm not going to get those trumpets, but hey that part is fine.
Here's a link to Agustine's composite set.
