I must make this quick--you are right it is a sobering thought that Buffet
and Selmer have the same reasoning behind two very different exterior designed
soprano clarinets. I have the second ever set of RECITALS sent to the US and
have been playing on them and others since I first tried them in Paris in
1984.

I am afraid they are not too popular--weight and perhaps appearnce but they
do suit me just fine. I have also played (at length) the Elite and found them
quite fine as well. Tis a good time to be a clarinet player--much to select
from--more on this after rehearsal.
