Quote from: wgwbassbone on Jun 14, 2017, 12:32PMWith all of the instruments out there why are you focused on these two alone?
1. They are instruments I feel comfortable purchasing without playing because of their consistency. Yamaha is practically legendary for their ability to produce horns that are as close to identical as possible, and Getzen's 3047 is, in my opinion, the best concert horn on the market before breaking into modular custom brands.
2. Used horns of these brands fall within the price range of my students.
Don't get me wrong - there are tons of great horns out there of many brands and models, but when I'm finding them for my kids and their parents, I can't afford to give a bad recommendation.
