Personally, I am not planning to do this. However, it is my perception that
the marketing efforts of the major clarinet makers are really rotten, and
that this especially applies to Buffet with their very confusing array of
clarinet models.

While we have a number of dealers on the klarinet list, we do not, as far
as I know, have any representatives of the manufactures (there was once a
Lablanc rep--a trombone player--but he dropped off quite a while ago). I
think this would be a useful place for them to correct misconceptions,
answer questions, and receive feedback on their products.
