Gene,

Buffet instruments are constantly evolving. Buffet produces many more top
professional models than Leblanc, last I checked.

You say, "most of the professional instrument problems discussed on the list
seem to be R-13 problems"........
1. Define, "some of these problems"......
2. Could it be because most of the professional players (all of the ones I
know) are playing Buffet instruments (by choice). Even when we have
something good.....we can always petition for something better. Most of us
do that through critique.

"resonance" fingerings do a lot more than just improve the sound on the
"throat tones". Covering tone holes often improves intonation and is great
to prepare technique, as players cross the break.
