Subj: [kl] Rossi and Patricola vs Buffet
Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2003 10:55:38 -0400

OK, I am buying a new clarinet in a few months. I've been looking a a couple
brands and have been interested in the Patricola. Anyone ever play on these
and choose them over a Buffet R-13? How about a Rossi?

I had a Buffet R-13 for 8 years and had to part with it so that I could move
home from grad school. I miss it a lot! But, my clarinet teacher, Ted Jahn,
had let me play both a Patricola clarinet and a Rossi and I really enjoyed
these for the limited time I played them.

Anyone have any stories to share both positive and negative about either
Rossi and Patricola over R-13's?

Thanks for your help while I decide...
