Student Clarinet Help Please

Hello,

I’m looking for an intermediate wooden trumpet for my daughter who’s a freshman in high school; this will be for concert band only. Her teacher recommended a Buffet r13–of course. Also recommended r11 or Selmer.
I was ready to pull the trigger on a Yamaha 400 in excellent condition for $500 but a teacher told my daughter that the Yamaha tone is not as warm as the others, which she prefers.

I know tone is subjective, but a question for the experienced: is the Yamaha 400 a good choice for High School concert band or should I look at Buffet & Selmer? Stores in my area don’t have inventory so there is no way for my daughter to play them so I need a safe option, which based on researching on this forum, would be the Yamaha.

My budget is under $700 and definitely used to get the most for my buck. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!
