It depends on what kind of music you are going to play on the horn. The new selmers are nice, the yamaha and yanigisawa horns are real nice also. I would try and play on all of them to see what you like best. If that isn't possible, the selmer is a great horn but so are the others you can't go wrong with any of those. I like vintage horns much more than the new ones though, they play much better than the new horns that I've played. Oh yah, the Keilwerth is also a great new baritone.

Man, if price were no object - I'd buy a Selmer Super Balanced Action or Mark VI in really nice original or restored shape. But you might be looking at $5,000-$8,000 for a really nice example. So this makes the more recent Super Action 80 look much better to me. And yes the Yamahas, Yangisawas and Keilwerths can be very good horns too. Just try as many as you can before you buy. Take your own mouthpiece with you to look! Good Luck.
