Subj: [kl] Authentic Buffet Bell
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 07:34:13 -0500

A student purchased a used R-13 ($1000) from a local store with a good =
reputation, up to this point. The bell is not stamped Buffet. There is =
no stamp of any sort on it. How many think it is a Buffet bell? Should =
he demand a Buffet bell, seeing as that is what was supposed to have =
been sold to him? The clarinet leaks like a sieve. He took it back to =
the store and they replaced three pads. Every pad is black and the =
clarinet has corks that are in bad condition and need to be replaced. =
If I had been present, I would have advised against buying this =
clarinet. Please give me some feedback.
