I would like to second this motion. My Prof and many others played anything
but Buffet. In many European Orchestras you must play and German system
clarinet before being acceptable. By the way what do Eddy Daniels and Pete
Fountain have in common?
Although I now live in North America, I know there is more to the world than
theUSA.
