There is no reason not to consider a plastic Yamaha......most people
realize that Yamaha copied the Buffet bore sizes, key styles, and tone
hole placement - so you really are buying something very similar to what
you have. I really prefer the beginner/intermediate Yamahas over their
Buffet counterparts.....and I am I play all Buffet instruments (excepting
my basset horn of course).
