No offence taken double A. The only reason I can think of having differing qualities of instrument is that youngsters being so fickle, they change their mind like the weather, and to fork out on an instrument that might cost many hundreds of pounds only for the youngster to change their mind and decide on a different instrument is quite an expensive hobby to pursue. I think that a lot of schools provide instruments to either loan or hire, and once a child knows that they are going to stick with it, then perhaps a more expensive one may be purchased. We were quite fortunate in the RMB to have good instruments (even though I'm sure the Horn holders would disagree) Saxamaphones were Selmer and are regarded as one of the better makes. I think Oboes were Howarth and again a good make. I'm not so au fait with the cornets, trumpets Troms etc. but I think Besson was a good make.


I DISAGREE!!!!!

I always thought Horn Holders were always slagging off their 'ooters, Stu?
