Mark, you have brought up a very interesting topic, and I assumed that you already knew the benefits of play testing.

So, what sort of definitive and consistent information would you suggest to weed through the less than perfect? In extreme cases it might be obvious (e.g. "Floyd Cooley wrote down the serial number after play-testing it at ITEC, and told me it's the best PT-6 he's played in five years" vs. "I got a great deal on it, after it sat, unsold, for five years in the demo room of Tuba Exchange"), but how much perpective (relative to other horns of the same type) do you expect from a high school senior selling a BBb to finance a CC for college, or a college junior who is abandoning a performance major?
