Mine came off ebay several yrs ago from an auction that had no bids. The seller, who turned out to be a contract player with the Toronto symphony, purchased it for one performance and after a year of it sitting in a closet, felt he no longer had a need for it. I paid $450 ($800 auction price) and he included a spare bbl and 2 day air shipping from Canada (that was a surprise). It has a melow voice and superb intonation for a C; enough so that it's been borrowed and played in the Tucson symphony. Prior to purchasing mine, I play tested an E11 and didn't like it at all. The sound was brittle, throat intonation was as poor as some E flats I've played and the keywork didn't feel comfortable......notably going from throat F# to A. At that time, I had a convo with Francois Kloc of Buffet about the lack of availability of E11 C's in the USA. He mentioned that the majorty Buffet manufacturers, are destined for the European market; citing that youngsters there learn on a C because of their smaller hands and it's free blowing tendency, yet utilizing a Bb mouthpiece. So, like any intended instrument purchase, shop around and ask for a trial basis.....maybe there's a closeout, NOS Espirit out there somewhere d
