Apologies to anyone who was misled by my previous posting on the
Buffet Elite.

It still contains all the original keys as per Boehm. Some of the holes
are raised because the wood is thinner and the actions have been refined
but it still looks more or less like a standard clarinet.

On the Irish professional front the big seller is the Bb/A combination
i.e. very few players at orchestral level will buy either on it's own.

If there are any Elite owners out ther maybe they can clarify and explain
why this is such an amazing instrument.

I'll stick with my R13 Prestige until I can afford a proper set of weight
training equipment :) Then I'll consider replacing it with an Elite.

Niall (amateur and enjoying it)
