I have played considerably more than 5 or 6 horns over the years and my
current Buffet Prestige low C was last adjusted by Bill Brannen, the guru
of bass clarinet work, before I played a concerto with the CSO in January
1995. Since that time it has had no other adjustments and is working
beautifully. The new mechanism is fantastic, and what Bill does is nothing
short of miraculous.
