Experience with Eastman?

Hey!

I’m in the market for a professional alto (to replace my YAS480 and I’ve been going around and checking out different horns at my local shops.

I ran into an Eastman 52nd Street that I absolutely love. Still have some other things to try (including some vintage horns).

But does anyone have experience with the brand? Both positive and negative are welcome.

The salesman said he used to be a huge Yamaha guy but now swears by Eastman.
