Re: choosing a new instrument

Hi Brenda,
Thanks for your reply.
I am planning on taking my time choosing. I have a couple on approval but am not happy with them.
I am pretty much settled on Buffet R13 and I know there are some good ones out there!
I play professionally (on a good day) so feel confident of my ability to assess tuning, tone etc. on a certain level...
I am really wondering about the finer points of tone to suit playing in a symphony orchestra... but I guess the only way to tell is by playing them in one! I tend to go for instruments with a warm but small sound as I am practising in a small room! I need to buy myself a concert hall first!

Maybe I will go to Paris where they get the first pick of the instruments of the production line...

Thanks again
Charlie
