My set of Selmers (Bb & A), bought in 1961, is still doing just fine, with
the exception that the F/C key has gotten too high, and you have to use both
fingers on F/C and E/B to be guaranteed of a good seal to start with.
Scheduled to go in for adjustment this Thursday. I >personally< don't like
Buffets; neither the feel nor the sound -- and I've heard more than a few
over the years. I don't care for Leblancs, because they're frankly too
heavy.

If I had to replace my set, right now, I'd certainly look at everything that
was available, but I would admit a predisposition toward Selmer.
