My wife plays an Opus, and loves it. Very flexible sound, with good
intonation. I've used her horn a couple of times, both in chamber
concerts, and in an orchestral setting, with mixed results. I really
can't project enough through all the flutes, violins, etc. My Yamahas
are the same way: pretty sound, but too small. After playing Buffets
for over 40 years, it's to late for this old dog to change!
