I think I would have enough background, being in instrument retail for the
last 2 years. I've sold enough new instruments and seen enough come back
with problems to know. Buffets are truly fine craftsmanship, however Selmer
and Yamaha have gone down in quality.

The older, the better, depending on the manufacturer.
