Yeah, I have considered the Opus and Concerto, and the Selmer Recital
and Signature. When I was in 7th grade, and my parents were doing a
blind test with a Sonato,Esprit,and the Buffet, I like the Esprit the
best. I did not like the Buffet at ALL because I thought it sounded
sluggish, and stuffy. Now the Buffet R-13 that I have makes my Esprit
sound thin and bright. I play with a Woodwind Company Legend A-10
mouthpiece, and the Vandoren Optimum Ligature. i am in between reeds, I
use Vandoren V 12's, and Glotin 3 1/2 's on both brands. For a long
time I used Mitchell Lurie 3 1/2 reeds but my clarinet teacher made me
get off them. She did not like them. They worked for me, but I did
sound thin on them. Maybe I'll switch back and go to 4's.

John(I have seen the ads for the Selmer Sig. and I think
that I am going to try it out soon!
