melloageout07 Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 cadets sell their xenos for about $500 less than you can buy them online. when they're about 6 months old. I've been told they take pretty good care of them, it's always something to check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_7 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 IMO yamaha's suck. I bought a Kanstul Powerbore G Soprano from renegades last year. Aside from some cleaning and spit valve corkage it's been a wonderful horn. I really had no idea what I was getting until I got it. At the time the price seemed a little high, but the end product is well worth it. Now I just need a Kanstul Frenchie and a Contra to round out my collection. If you've never done any horn maintenance or are new to playing in general, I probably wouldn't recommend a used horn. Cause if it has issues, you really wont know, until several years later when you play someone elses version of the same and go, how come mine doesn't play like that. At which point you're really ###### off, cause you either quit playing, or realize you shouldn't be 3rd Sop for the 8th year in a row.

MoKeefus Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I bought a Kanstul COL 103 from the Bluecoats recently. It is in great shape and I have enjoyed what little time I've put on it so far. I'm real happy with my purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemey Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I'd like to get hold of one of those Yamaha Xeno's (the .462 bore one) It was sweet to play on all year. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
