My Buffet B-flat soprano has serial #33122. Can anyone tell how old it
is? I got it used c. 1960. I really like the tone, but it has a slight
tendency to drool at the C#-G# key and the side D#-A# key.
I wonder if this ever was corrected.
Mouthpiece: Genussa #2.
Ligature: Bonade metal. Where can one find actual research on ligatures?
Reed: V12 hand-select when I can get them, regular V-12 right now.

One supplier told me that the NY VanDoren wholesaler claims there are
only two ladies who pick out HS reeds in all of France, and that the
current US quota is 100 boxes a month. I have a back order dating to
last November. I'm curious if anyone has heard a similar story.
