Re: Yamaha vs Buffet

You're right Steve from Ct. I was not thinking about a Yamaha 450. I was thinking about a Yamaha 350 with a wooden barrel that seems to list for about $600. I played one about six months ago and for about one hour. I felt it was easy to play, straight-forward and tuneful. I didn't think the 450 or the 650 was that much better than the 350 (much more beautiful though). However the Yamaha seemed a noticeable step up in the Custom models. Sorry for the misinformation previously. Also the E13 is a model I never tried (only the E-11 and R-13). I understand the E13 costs somewhere between an R13 and a E11. If it were a choice between just Buffets I think I'd go with a used R13, but you need to get with someone who has actually tested an R-13.
