I can say for certain that their bass clarinets do not. I can't speak for
the clarinets.

BTW...the new Buffet Bass Clarinet I just purchased has an adjustment
screw on the bridge....quite nice! But......you have to be very careful
when assembling, or you will knock the teflon pad off as you slide the
bridge keys across. There is no way to raise the mechanism.....you would
think the designer would have thought of that?

The new Buffet Bass Clarinet plays beautifully....and the pitch is simply
unbelieveable.
