Subj: [kl] Buying a clarinet? BEWARE!
Date: Wed, 13 May 1998 09:59:12 -0400

HELLO!

My name is Michael Wallace. I am the Regional Manager for Boosey & Hawkes
Musical Instruments, Inc. for California and Nevada. We are the makers and
distributors of the Buffet clarinets. It has been brought to my attention
that a shop in Los Angeles (a former Buffet dealer) has purchased some "second
hand" clarinets to sell as new. These clarinets were purchased gray-market
from another country. That is, around the US distribution. As a result,
these instruments have not received our "Platinum Service". They have not
been inspected by Francois Kloc and his crew. They will not have a valid
warranty here in the US. Boosey & Hawkes Musical Instruments, Inc. (USA) will
not guarantee the gray-marketed clarinets (and low C bass clarinets) against
CRACKING OR ANYTHING ELSE. We at Boosey & Hawkes are very proud of our Buffet
clarinets and we want you, the player, to enjoy the wonderful experince of
knowing that you have purchased the very best clarinet for you. I feel it is
my duty to warn you. Beware and buy your Buffet from an AUTHORIZED BOOSEY &
HAWKES DEALER IN YOUR AREA.

Best regards,
Michael
