<< just tried a fairly new-vintage Buffet R13 Eb (soprano), and while I
really liked the sound and general pitch, the fourth from A3 (above the
staff) to high D was really sharp; I know high D is usually up there, but
the C2 (thumb C) and B were also ca.3O cents sharp. Is this usual, and is
it common knowledge that you buy the horn with this defect and then have
it adjusted somehow? >>

Peter......just try playing in unison with the piccolo, as one often has to do
in orchestral settings........you'll often find yourself lipping UP those
sharp notes! Maybe Buffet knows something we dont!

Seriously, I have a VERY VERY good Buffet eefer, bought new in the early 70's.
Probably the most "in-tune" eefer I ever played. I have had MANY offers from
people wanting to buy it.

If you like, I'll check those notes with the tuner and we can compare.
