Re. clarinets used by Benny Goodman, he used a Buffet R-13 for at least the last 20 years of his life. In '70 or71, Goodman was doing an appearance in San Antonio and someone noticed the Selmer logo on his case...They asked..'So Benny, are you still useing Selmer clarinets"...Benny replied, "Oh no, I switched to Buffet years ago but Selmer gives me $ to use their clarinets so I keep the Buffet in this case"..Goodman also used an R-13 on his 1973 Australia tour.He verified this in a news story.....Cheers Jack Wiard
