I have looked at three "entry level" new instruments - the Yamaha b1 (GBP1450), the Steinmayer S108 (GBP1795), and the Waldstein 108M (GBP1695) - all of them in black. There was also a Reid Sohn at ?1800 but I can't recall the model I'm afraid.
The dealer who had the Yamaha and the Waldstein recommended the Waldstein, though I wonder whether that was because the margins are so low on the Yamaha but, to be honest, they all sounded much the same to me.
Any thoughts anyone? I originally was going to look at second-hand, but that seems even more of a minefield.
Also, the Steinmayer dealer would let me rent before purchasing, which is tempting, but not a deal-maker.
Thanks.
