So, having researched a little and discounted the MKVI, I have an eye for an alto SSS ("cigar cutter" or RI), BA, SBA, or SA80 (I or II).
I don't know what the difference is between BA & SBA, nor whether the SA80 II should eclipse these for some reason? Could anyone with a knowledge help out here?
Having almost bought the TJ Raw I'm swayed a little by Steve Howard's review compared to the BA and by Pete's negative comment about the Raw (alto).
Hope to pop into Howarths next weekend to play the Raw and a few Selmers on their used list.
A SSS would be perhaps £1200 in good order, an SA80 the same or slightly more. A BA £2500, and an SBA £3000. As something to challenge my SDA and 62 altos, and eclipse both perhaps, how would anyone here comment? Which Selmer would you aim for? Yes I know... "try them all, then decide."
