I'm in the UK, and haven't played for 40 years , until I recently started playing again. I have a pair of old Boosey and Hawkes Imperial 926 , and they were bought fir me by my parents , second hand, in 1975 . So , when I started paying again, I thought I ought perhaps to look into what was deemed to be a good professional standard instrument other than mine . I tried a new R13 in the local music store ,along with a top of the range Yamaha . Neither of them were a patch on my 926 s in tone ( I like the warm, velvety type of sound) . So, as someone else said, look into good 2nd hand instruments , get it it/ them serviced and you could be very suprised and have more money in your pocket too ! And if you see a 926 or even better 10:10 B&H for sale , check it out . I saw a 926 for sale recently for just £500.00 ! Bargain! Mine are fantastic , even at around 60 years old . I'm told that the quality of the wood used then, was much better than today , making the beautiful sound that they are capable of ...Good luck . Play what YOU like after all, not what others tell you to play ..
