Re: Question about the CSVR

Bob, thank you for your generous offer. If I were in the market for a new one I would definitely consider. Unfortunately I am not really in a position to pay for a new one right now, but neither do I want to get a lesser instrument than I already own. I had already decided I would spend 600-800 for a really good overhaul on mine. Adding the plating would put it at 1,000 or more, though, and at that point, it is worth at least exploring other options and look at some horns I was interested in anyway to see what deals might be had.

I have seen a used CSVR for $1,700 and that is not terribly far away from what I was originally going to spend. The only other instrument I would consider in that price range is the Backun Protege but I think of that as more of an intermediate horn. I'd really want to look at the Q or F if I was going to go for that and that isn't happening right now.

I should say I have never tried either of these to see what they are like. I'm hoping to get to a music store next week that has both so I can at least have an idea of what they play like before I decide for sure.
