I was fortunate enough to find a used older Selmer and love it. I started
out on the Selmer stundet model, the one that used to be Bunndy, and it
was terrible. I understand that the Vito is better. If you can find a
used Selmer, Buffet, or LeBlanc, you should do fine. Eric Dolphy played a
Con, but I have no experience with them.
