The post today was mine, and it was for a Buffet Prestige RC C
clarinet...not a Buffet RC C.
Actually, the list is $4800 or so, and the selling price at a discount
house is somewhere between $2400 and $3200.
I have tried several of these instruments and they play beautifully in
tune and with a lovely sound. I am sure the Noblet C is a great horn as
well......I still have an old Noblet Bb (1948), and it is
terrific.......but the Leblanc C that I had in 1980 was the most out of
tune thing I ever tried!
