model sold."

Dave, your preference for clarinets is your own business and no one can
criticize you for your choice. But when you suggest something about
what the industry marketplace has and does, you have to be able to
defend that statement other than by a smell test.

What evidence do you have that jusifies such a bold statement? Isn't it
enough for you to say that you have Buffets and like them? What high
ground is taken when you make statements about an industry marketplace
without providing statistics that confirm you assertion?

If you consider the world of professional jazz players, or non
Americans, I believe your assertion cannot be sustained.
