I've only been a member of this list for a few weeks, lurking. I have never
seen such nasty and rude emails on a music-related email list in such a
short time. I'm almost ashamed I play the clarinet after some of the
reading I've done. I wish some of you would just plain take a cold shower.
Glad I've gotten this off my chest.

Thank you, Mr. Kloc, for the warning. I, if no one else, appreciates it.

First,these clarinets have not been"Platinum Serviced" by myself or our
technicians,which means that they have not been inspected for superb
quality,adjustments and playability.

WHAT DO THE GREAT CLARINETISTS OF GERMANY, FRANCE, JAPAN, CANADA,
ENGLAND, BRAZIL, AND MEXICO DO FOR "SUPERB QUALITY, ADJUSTMENTS AND
PLAYABILITY"? I DON'T THINK THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE LIBERTYVILLE
EXPERTS. ARE THEY MERELY STUCK WITH THE "FINISHED" PRODUCT OF THE GREAT
BUFFET FACTORY???

In many cases we found "gray
market" that were worked or adjusted by un authorized technicians who
destroyed the instrument by reaming the bore and tone holes in a manner
that is acoustically incorrect,again nobody have the proper reamers to
work on the Buffet clarinet exept Buffet >>

OH REALLY!!! HOW DID RALP MCLANE, ROBERT MARCELLUS AND HAROLD WRIGHT
MAKE IT THROUGH THEIR 50 YEAR PLAYING CAREERS WITHOUT THE BUFFET TECHNICIANS
WITH BUFFET REAMERS FROM LIBERTYVILLE?
