Re: Student Horn Prices

Ray and Dan: Thank you for your responses. I shared a similar viewpoint even while I was in college. The truth is that there are a lot of fine horns out there, both for students and pros. Some of the best horns today are made by Backun, which is only 17 years old.

You are part right about Vito and Buffet. Actually, Noblet was founded in 1750, which became LeBlanc, and then Vito (as you mention) began importing and making LeBlancs after WWII, until he began his own company. Instead of names just being bought and sold, my understanding is that Vitos are descended from Noblets. The important thing is that Noblets, Normandys, LeBlancs, and Vitos are all good horns. Vitos should be recommended to any beginning student.
