I think it's like the Rabbit and the Hare.... both are excellent instruments in the right hands... if set up and adjusted well....beauty is in the ear of the beholder...i'm currently building a Tekero for myself, it's loosely based on a Budpest instrument i restored a couple of years back.. i love the sound of the Tekero and consider the buzzing system simply better than the Chien...but again that's all personal choice :)
