Yamaha 8335 (G?)S Xeno (click to enlarge)

I played this one, 8310ZS and Bach Stradivarius 180ML43S. 8335 Xeno has a magnificent sound even with my rather limited technique. I did not think about air, lips or fingers - it just played.

Bach sounded the worst among tested models, but that's maybe because I was not able to play it (I tried standard Bach 7C and Yamaha 14C mouthpieces, my student mouthpiece is 7C), or because it was defective, which I heared is a very common problem.

Highpower@ liked light 8310Z sound more than Xeno though, but I prefered my feeling despite his professional opinion. I just love the sound Xeno produces.

It's damn perfect!

Having such instrument I must learn to play better than good, and eventually I will. As highpower@ says - 'let's listen you in two-three years'... Let's.
