Sorry, but I disagree with you on sterotyping all plastic as being cheap and out of place. this link is to my current workhorse tenor. http://www.lazarsearlymusic.com/Yamaha- ... orders.htmMBalance wrote:I really don't like plastic, plastic things just feel cheap and out of place. Nice sturdy heavy things are awesome. If you drop something it should go KERPLEW, not plip.
But... with that said I do have a few plastic instruments, after a while I "upgrade" to more heavy ones made out of wood, corian, or metal though.
It is definitly not inexpensive, nor is it cheap, flimsey or in many groups out of place. Yes hubby was a bit argumentative when I said I wanted it but it most closely represents the build and "handeling" of the tenor I would buy if I wanted to spend $600 or so. There is no upgrade in recorders to corian or metal.
The susato in question was purchased at a reduced price from a C&F member for me to learn on. As I said in my first post, I already have an upgrade to it that I just couldn't play properly and I have high hopes of returning to it soon once I have a few practice weeks on the susato.
