It's SO hard to get good help nowadays! Seriously, quality control does
seem to be a problem in instruments generally, and not just the very
cheapest student horns, either. It greatly annoys me to see good designs
compromised by shoddy workmanship, and I see it all the time in the store,
although less often on Yamaha and Jupiter instruments than on some other
major brands we sell.

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