Listed where? (He asked.)

Probably they are the same ones as listed on the Buffet web site for the
1193. (It hasn't been updated, yet.)

http://www.boosey.com/mi/1193.html

I have an current model Buffet alto clarinet which comes with several
resonance keys. They open up the lower clarion and even out the response
of the instrument over all compared to the previous Buffet alto clarinet
model.

I had a chance to play on a 1193 recently and found the lower clarion to be
a bit stuffy. However, several people on the list who have the new 1193-2
without optional resonance keys (as far as I know) said the clarion
response was good.

I wonder if any of the new models imported into the US have had the
resonance keys? M. Kloc should know.

Subject: [kl] Buffet 1193-2 bass options

The new Buffet 1193-2 bass clarinet is listed as having four factory
optional resonance keys. Does anyone on the list have any experience with
those keys? Can you comment on the pros and cons of having them? (Or not
having them.)

(I sent a similar message last Friday, but I never saw it show up on the
list. If it did, please forgive the duplicate.
