Just to be sure---Buffet has two different catalogues, one for the
soprano clarinets (Bb, A, C, Eb and D) and one for the "harmony"
instruments which were, last time I looked (which was some time ago)
basset clarinet in A, basset horn, bass clarinet and contra-alto
clarinet. You're sure you didn't just have the wrong catalogue?
