Hello Bob:

Thank you for all of your work with me on the Elite Winds Black Nickel
Alto Saxophone purchase. The instrument arrived safely at our home
yesterday morning, Friday, November 28. I have had the opportunity
during the holiday weekend here to thoroughly examine and play the
instrument at some length. The black nickel finish is indeed beautiful,
and the key action, intonation and tone quality are all quite good for
an instrument in this price range. It will serve us well as Luke
progresses with his clarinet, and now, saxophone studies.

Also wanted to let you know that I may be interested in purchasing
either a Legend IV or the Elite Winds Tenor Saxophone in Black Nickel/
Gold Plated Keys, and possibly the Legend IV Soprano, also in the Black Nickel/ Gold Keys finish. If possible, could you give me a bit more information on the soprano? I know that Buffet does not (yet) market a 400 Soprano. You mentioned to me in a previous e-mail that the soprano parts are imported from Taiwan and assembled at your factory. Is the quality of the brass and other parts, the construction quality, and especially the intonation of the soprano on par with the Legend IV alto and tenor? Is this perhaps the instrument which will eventually become the Buffet 400 soprano? Any information you could provide would be most appreciated.

Thanks again, and we look forward to hearing from you at your
convenience. Best wishes for an enjoyable, and not too hectic, holiday
season.

Tony Simons
