Used Yamaha 72 vs. Yamaha XT-1

Author: gfunkgfunk63

I recently found a Model 72 Yamaha Bb Soprano SN 0010XX. It is in excellent condition with no cracking/pinning and quite playable. My college daughter currently plays a Yamaha XT-1 that we purchased new in 2009. My question is this: All things being equal, if you had to choose between playing the more modern XT-1 or moving back to the 72 from 1985 or so, which would be the best choice over the long term? My daughter is in her last year of studio lessons, and will NOT be on a performance track. I'd just like her to have the better of the two instruments. Thanks for any input or insight you can provide!

XT-1

I wasn't impressed with the old Yamahas.

But of course you have to try both, and decide for yourself. Keywork quality/condition also is important.
