Hello and cheers all!
I have sold my old Martin bari (too many repairs, too often) and since I seem to be exclusively playing bari at the moment I am in the market for a new (to me) ax. I have been borrowing the Selmer student model at the college but would like to stop doing that and get my own. My budget is smallish (under $3,000 U.S.).
Here are some options I have been considering:
a Buffet (?)

a Dolnet
https://www.junkdude.com/ProductDetail.aspx?id_product=797
a King Cleveland
KING CLEVELAND BARITONE SAXOPHONE WITH ORIG SILVER!!!
and has anyone ever heard of these Orpheo's??? I can't seem to find any information about the company which already seems suspect to me.
Amazon.com: Orpheo Signature Baritone Saxophone Silver: Musical Instruments
I am playing some challenging charts with the Jazz Ensemble this semester, some Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, and Freddie Hubbard's "Red Clay". Neither of which require a Low A.
Should I only be looking at the models with Low A? My Martin didn't have it, and I am just not sure.
I would greatly appreciate opinions or advice.
Many thanks~
