Some of the participants on this list may be intersted to know that a wonderful
book exists that lists just about any instrument manufacturer that ever saw the
light on this earth:

The new Langwill Index
A Dictionary of Musical-Instrument Makers and Inventors
William Waterhouse

Revised and published by Tony Bingham
11 Pond Street
London NW3 2PN
Tel: +44 (0) 71 794 1596
Fax.: +44 (0) 71 433 3662

Even some of the resellers are listed. More recent makes like the Chinese are
not in there.

The last time I heard one compared to a Renard oboe, there was no
comparison. The customers (young kid's parents) bought the Renard, even
though it was a good deal more expensive. Even they heard the
difference in tone and intonation right away.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
