Well, Roger - I'll second that. I'm trying to sell my Buffet Eb because
I just don't have the time to put into the intricacies of the instrument.
( nor do I have the time to play it, let alone my Bb/A at present )
Anyone who is thinking of an Eb soprano who now plays a Bb (assumed)
should try one first , with a fingering chart for those fun notes above C
(above the staff). If the prospective purchaser is willing to put in the
time, they can be a great sounding instrument.

By the way, I am a lurker that has come out of the closet temporarily.
By being on the list, I ran into a Jim Lytthans who just joined a short
time ago. He & I have played together in the past and it was good to
contact him.

Keep up the interesting discussions! Ed Donohue
