Re: Evaluating a Yamaha CSG

Thanks for that message!

I have been sitting on the fence about looking into getting a new Yamaha (probably the YCL650 for me, although will look at the CSVs). I have heard many other people make similar comments that they're impressed with the intonation, etc.

Based on these comments, I think it really is in my interest to go and give them a look. Buffet should really re-think their pricing because they're probably the *last* brand I intend to give consideration to in my upcoming quest for a new horn. Although I have yet to go out and try any out, if even half of what everyone is saying about the Yamahas is true, it surely sounds like more horn for nearly 1/2 to 2/3s of the money when (in my case considering) YCL650/CSV vs. R-13.

I also don't face the resale dilemma that I think contributes IN PART to people choosing the R-13 over other options. I've had my current clarinet for 20 years (since high school!), and I easily see myself keeping whatever I choose now for at least 20 more.
