| Hi,
Didn't see this part of the thread.
Brands well Bach, Schilke and Yamaha are all available at local shops and don't cost a fortune. Of the more difficult ones to get of hold off it seems Mark Curry and Kanstul also make great pieces (and generally correspond to Bach sizes) but people tell me are more consistent..I've played some Kanstul mps but not a Curry.
Priced above these are everything from $60 to $500 but are unlikely to be of any particular benefit to your daughter (unless she's one great young player!!) Hope this helps.
Regards
