Subj: [kl] Buffet Festival Clarinets
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2007 17:59:47 -0500

I am wondering how many people out there are playing or have tried the
Buffet Festival clarinets?

I know some prominent teachers who recommend them, and others who do not.

To me, the nice thing about the Festivals, is that its the same R13 bore,
plus the added Ab/Eb key, and two barrels. One barrel is 66 mm and the other is
65 mm. That's great, since most clarinet players have to go buy a 65 mm
barrel anyway for high pitch situations (or those cold pits when you are
doubling).

Anyway, I was wondering what the general reaction was to these instruments.
