I'm shopping around for a new horn (alto) and came across a Buffet S1 at a store for a little over $1,000. Interesting horn. The neck had a space cut out of it for the high F# key, a funny roller system on the RH pinkie, and it really didn't sound bad at all. The manager told me it was about 20 yrs. old, SN 34166E. Anybody have any info about this horn as to whether it's an intermediate or pro horn.
The reason I ask is that I played it against a used Keilwerth SX90 Nickle (twice the price) and really could not decide which one I liked better. They also had a Buescher 400 that was lightning fast but tone wise not very deep. I'm basically looking for something to replace my stale Yamaha 875.
Thanks people.
