Subj: Re: [kl] Detailed specifications of Buffet Clarinets

This message is a bit old but I don't see any responses.
I don't think reading more detailed specifications will be of much value.
I suggest trying out a number of different brands and models of clarinets
to see how they compare. If an intermediate instrument won't due, you
should be able to find a used pro instrument for the price of an
instrument like an E-13 or less. (They are over $1300 in my new WW and BW
catalog.)

Subject: [kl] Detailed specifications of Buffet Clarinets
Could someone point me in the direction of a web page that gives greater
detail regarding the specifications and design of the various models of
Buffet Clarinets than provided at the following site?
http://www.boosey.com/mi/e13.html
My daughter has a friend (sophomore) who is trying to obtain a better
instrument, since her clarinet teacher is not pleased with her E-11 that
she
has been playing. Our schools push R-13s as the instrument of choice and
she has been told that she would be wasting her money by going from an
E-11
to an E-13. The indication was that she wasn't getting anything more with
the E-13 than with her E-11 than the difference in keys. I don't know if
that was in reference to silver plated vs. nickel plated, or if there are
other features of the keys that are being referred to.
I realize that she needs to try and compare a number of instruments. But
my
impression is that the "right" E-13 "can" be quite satisfactory for
someone
who doesn't want to spend the extra money on an R-13. However, without
more
detailed information regarding the design of the various instruments, I
don't believe that our local people will ever believe that and she would
never be satisfied with that choice with opposition from the band
directors.
Thanks!
