| I'm a little late, but here is the Yamaha vs. Bach debate, as I understand it, in a nutshell:
Yamaha:
pros: plays "easier", generally less intonation quirkiness, quality control is regarded as being rather high.
cons: accused of having a "vanilla", or boring sound, "no personality" *
Bach:
pros: regarded as being "the standard sound", in fact it is sort of the "standard of 'everything'"
cons: quality control has been known to fluctuate, may not play as "easy" as the Yamaha, may have some intonation issues.**
*It should be noted that any well-known pros that happen to play Yamaha have anything but a boring sound.
**It should also be noted that any well-known pros that happen to play Bach do not have any trouble playing in tune or evenly from high to low.
***Finally, it should especially be noted that it is the person behind the horn that determines how it plays.
This is all Manny meant. Debate over. Thanks for tuning in. |
