I would like a Yani curved soprano. The online shops (I'm in Australia) seem to have only SCWO10 ... well, another says s902 but is out of stock. Is there a reputable US or overseas dealer for new or used? Thanks very much.

There are many.

For a new one ou can try Matthews in the Netherlands they sell abroad without EU VAT taxes by the way (when you look at the prices look at the lower one). Talk to David Crane , he knows me.

I have had an excellent experience with Bauhaus Walstein bronze Action Improved (which is a near perfect copy of a Yanagisawa), and I'd much recommend that too.

Have you tried Better Music in Canberra? They seem to have several curved ones in stock.

they appear to be sold out

Kessler and Sons in US is very good. Worth a call, not sure if they ship overseas though.

Matthews ships worldwide.

I used Mathews a year or so ago to buy an R&C tenor , excellent service. I'm in the UK.

I would definitely contact Better Music in Canberra as Currawong suggested. Their website doesn't always reflect what they actually have (or can get), and they had some curved Yani sops on display last time I was there.

Same when I was there recently. I even tried one. Also, should decide import something, don't forget to add the GST to your purchasing price to get the real cost.
