So, Eu, did you buy a new Symphonie? The Backun one? If so, where did you get it? WWBW isn't getting it until March.
If not, which Symphonie? I owned a Symphonie VII (the rosewood model) a few years back and it was gorgeous! It didn't sound quite as pretty as it looked, however, so I sold it.
I'll definitely give a report when the Cadenza arrives. I'm excited about it. It comes with 2 Backun barrels. I have a Backun bell that I use on my Opus II, so I'll try it with and without that.
This thread only served to get me to go ahead on what I had been thinking about anyway. I printed out a photo of the Cadenza a couple of weeks ago and had been thinking of getting one. It's always fun to shop with friends!
YoungFl, let us know what you get and what you like about it. The Rapsodie is less expensive, but the Cadenza offers more upgrades (like the Backun barrels). So, it's a budget decision. However, I always like to remind young players that you should get the best you can afford.
