can be $150-200 or so, variable of course, and new, the range is about
$300-$500 depending on the brand, and quality. the brasswind is a good
online place to buy (but is in indiana) www.wwandbw.com-Alan

I have a Vito EEb to low Eb and a LeBlanc BBb to low D. When all is
said and done, I enjoy the EEb more. I would like to know how you
compare the leblanc paperclip EEb to the Bundy and Vito? Thanks.
