Check out Shearwater at the lower end of the market price wise, or maybe get a MK Kelpie.

Those are the two that I have; I was about to order a Kerry, when the Kelpie showed up pre used, so I bought it instead.

I've had F's by Burke, Susato, and Alba but just recently I got one from Colin Goldie and it's by far the best F I've owned.

I chatted with Colin on the phone, he played six different F's he had to hand, and as he played and discussed how they played and what preferences I had this particular one ended up being the most suited for me.

He had other F's I think, in different bore-sizes and different windway heights, but I like his Mediums so we were mainly discussing those.

It arrived in little over a week, from Germany to California. I was impressed!

There is a video of one in G on Youtube and it sounds great.

But they sound great. You can never tell before you played one. Unfortunately those will certainly not be available in any store to test them before buying.
