Thank you, everyone, for your thoughtful and informative replies.

I wonder if we might turn your comparative analysis talents to YAMAHA vs. ADAMS.

At this point, we are leaning towards the Yamaha 4600A, 4 1/3, rosewood (model 4600A). It seems to us that Yamaha is the market leader, thereby providing high quality and good resale (should we ever choose to sell it). Like the Adams, it tears down into bags, is height adjustable, and is priced very close to Adams. The only advantage we can find for Adams is that it is later upgradable to 5 octaves. However, Adams charges a steep premium for this option ($5K), bringing the total instrument cost up to a price equivalent to a new 5-octave instrument.

Musser is history.

We will continue (for a bit) to find a used instrument from a reputable dealer but have pretty well given up on e-Bay due to our inability to verify the quality and soundness of the instrument before purchase ... easier to buy a used car on eBay : )

Thanks again.

- Kimberly
