For those of you who play the Buffet Festival:

How well does it project in an orchestra? What is your opinion about how it
performs in an orchestral situation. I was told that "it does not project
well in an orchestra, that they have a small shape in sound and have a clear
limit as to how much air that you can put in them." Can you respond to
that. I am just curious, because I am considering purchasing a festival.

Which would you prefer for all round orchestral and chamber playing-an R13
or the Festival, or, are they both adequate.

I know that I am opening a can of worms, but, I really want to know
opinions.

Deborah
