I
think someone else here once mentioned that Gigliotti began on Selmer and
migrated to Buffet...or was that the other way around?

----------------------------------------

Other way. Buffet was always the standard to compare against and to beat.
Same for the old Chedeville Mouthpiece - most are compared to it and are
designed with that in mind. You rarely see a comparison to anything but the
Buffet as the standard to beat. And it was Klose with Buffet who designed
the current system of fingering (Boehm) - correct me if I'm wrong but I
remember reading that one.
