The Opus and Symphonie VII that I tried recently had significant
differences in keywork from each other, although I understand their bore
design is supposed to be the same. Among other things, the left pinky aux
Eb lever was annoyingly in my way on the Opus, but was well placed (for my
long fingers) on the Symphonie VII.
