I'm in the market for a new low c bass clarinet and am leaning toward
the Buffet 1193.
Are there any others I should be considering?

The retailer I was set to order from just told me that the expected
arrival for an 1193 is sometime late next year. I know the last
several years it's been getting more difficult to get new clarinets,
but a whole year! Does anyone know if this an issue specifically with
Buffet?

If you've purchased a new instrument recently how did you go about getting it?

Also, if anyone has a used one for sale let me know.
