  Just curious Michael, are Dupont Favino models a regular production model, or once in a blue moon?

  I know its not a listed piece but $500 for a change from selmer body to a favino body would make it seem dupont were not exactly scraping the mould off those old favino molds.

  This is definitely not the first one they've made. Michael had Moreno's Macias-style Dupont Favino a while back:

  and I've seen another one like the current one elsewhere. Michael could special order one if you wanted.
