Dolnets CAN be a mixed bags of goodies
First of all the issue that one MAY have ( I had it 3 times) is that there are soprano, alto, tenors an ONLY Low Bb baritones which MAY BE high pitch), always check the length.
Fortunately I only made the mistake once to buy an alto which I then had revised (By Tim Brennan by the way) and it turned out to be high pitch, he had played but not checked against a tuner ( he thought there was no reason to)
But I have also bought and sold many perfectly kosher Dolnets and recently two beautiful Low A which has to be one of the best value for money vintage Low A horn on the market!
Sopranos are excellent if you like the palm key arrangement (in line)
The M70 Can be great but I had a tenor and an alto which weren't finished all that good ( But I've seen some great ones!)
