Indeed, when Boosey bought Buffet in the first place it was the beginning of
the best period of the company's existance (despite many predicting doom at
THAT time). Amazing increase in consistancy and no increase in price. No
other company has been able to provide a better, more consistant clarinet for
the price. And the improvement in the basset horn and bass clarinet has been
dramatic.

Seems to me the people who are writing off Buffet around here are the same
ones who feel duty-bound to bash them all the time anyway. Get over it.
