I am centering on the information I have. I solicit additional information
to refute any conclusions I may have erroneously formed. What do you want
from me? Your own assertions, coming as they do from an official spokesman
for Buffet, are at least as tainted as mine by parochial interest. The
more I hear from relatively unbiased sources of other brands having known
acoustical flaws, and needing extensive correction, the less argument I
will have. And since I tire of the argument, let's hear it, folks!

I am saying I have not read any such knocks that I recall in this forum. I
ask again to be proven wrong by the flood of responses from disgruntled
Selmer, Leblanc, and Yamaha owners.

argue about ANYTHING, whether you make any sense or not!

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