Hi, everybody!

I am about to buy my first soprano and decided to go for Yanagisawa, but the thing is, I can't decide wether to go for new S901 or used S991 Elimona (year 1991). For the new one I will be paying about 400 $ more. So my question is, what do you think I should do? And is the new Yanagisawas the same built and material quality as the old ones? I will be thankful for your opinion....

Thanks, Dave! I guess my question is more about wether I should go for new or old Yanagisawa, I'm just wondering if they are still the same good horns?

Thank you all for sharing, but I made my choice! As I could make a price for used Elimona a bit lower, which makes the difference about 700 $, I bought it. Apart from being in really good shape- no pad leaks, no technical problems, being in tune and having one of the nicest sounds, it is also a very beautiful horn with nice engravement and risen Yanagisawa logo. To be honest I haven't played it very much since I bought, because of some health reasons, but I am REALLY looking forward to play this horn. To conclude I am happy with it!

Cheers

I'll probably know something more when I play it for a while...
