Re: Step up instrument Buffet e12, e13, or something else

The German Made E11N (with nickel keys) only brings back the original E11 that was German made with silver keys. The E11N was made concurrently with the "E11 France" for about a year before the E11 France was discontinued.

The E11 France was then replaced with the E12F. Same bore, but they now properly mount the posts, keywork & assembly is done in Germany (body is cut in France) and they are padded with leather pads.

I love the E12F when properly setup whereas I did not care for the E11 France. The leather pads made a very positive improvement to the performance of the instrument. However, the E12F take a lot of time in new setup to make them play up to their potential.
