<< Hi Alvin
How do you explain the fact that my five year old set of R13's bore has a
mirror finish? The grain of the wood is perfect. It has not cracked. I
know several players who own recently manufactured R13's and their's are
similar.
The newer Buffets do have some intonation problems, but the older Buffets
that I've tried had their own problems. Moenig made a career out of these
problems.

Dear Marty,
These older Buffets were used by legendary clarinetist on some of
the greatest recordings ever made.
I would be very interested in hearing your "perfect grained
clarinets". How many CDs have you made and where might I find a copy?
Thanks, as I am always interested in learning more about great
instruments.
