Thanks Bourniplus. If it helps, the new Paolo Soprani Studio 72 is selling at AUD3000. I did not want to spend so much, but if I cannot find a good used instrument I may have to start saving.
The Titano will be AUD995 which is the same as the used Soprani. This seems to be a pretty standard sort of price for a used instrument in good condition, serviced and tuned.
I was thinking that the Titano may be a less limiting option as long as I am comfortable with the weight. I will go and view it although it is white and I am not sure how I feel about that!
