Looking at a used Series III vs a New Yani this week. Which would you choose and why? I play an alto Yani and love it, and am looking for a tenor. Price point +-$3000

Can you send me the sellers contact information? 😉

Yany. I like them better anyway.
Plus get a better deal ifyou got a nice used one.

Not just on price either.

Play them both. Either they are sufficiently different that you’ll have a preference, or you cannot tell them apart and it won’t matter.

Between those two, it’s Selmer for me. I owned a III shortly after they came out, and played it for several years in big band and classical quartet settings (using Barone Hollywood and Jazz for big band, and Morgan 6C for classical). I much prefer the Selmer core.

I am so slow to post, but I completely agree with George. (Except that I use 10E for jazz and a Selmer Concept for classical.)
