Re: Normandy 4

Yeah, Bryan, I question going from a Normandy to a Yamaha to a Buffet. The "feel" of different brands is definitely different, and this should be a consideration.

I would suggest that you stick with the Leblanc-made stuff since you already have played one for some years (caveat: I do like Leblanc hardware). But if you -- like many others -- just won't be satisfied without a Buffet, try to get there more smoothly. I don't know how the Schreiber-made (E11) and French-made Buffets stack up, feel-wise. Presuming the new R-13 Prstige in your future is a must, maybe you'd be better off with a used R-13 until you get the new one. It would likely have better retention of its value than the E11, anyway.

Regards,
John
