I certainly did not mean to denigrate these instruments; merely to point
out that Yamaha's come in many levels. The design seems to change little,
only the execution improves as you move up the line. And details are
added: silver plating, adjustable thumb rests, etc. They are a little too
resistant for my taste, but certainly well-made. I have no problem
recommending them to customers.

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