 This Mofia member is getting very aggravated with Buffet

Yes, I am a buffet mophia member, a buffet sheep or whatever you want to call it but I am getting very irratated with some of the practices of buffet clarinets.

As I have said in several posts I have been hunting for a good R-13 A Clarinet. Everywhere I have tried clarinets, they A's were not worthy of junior high orchestra. Apparently a really good batch of A clarinets were brought to the convention last week but most were picked out.

I am getting very VERY agitated with the way Buffet has been working. Me and few other clarinets whom are argueably leading as far as college clarinet majors are concerned, are getting very irratated that we can't find great A clarinets but that when a random professor calls to get A's he/she gets the best selection and we get scraps to pick from.

I used to play on leblancs and though I must say the clarinets didn't turn out to work for me I always appreciated the service that I got. Julie Deroche picked out my A and Richard hawkins worked with me to get my Bb Opus back in the day. The Leblancs weren't inconsistent they were all generally pretty good and some quite amazing. It didn't take me TWO years to try to find a good clarinet, they were all pretty good.

Most of these new buffet clarinets are junk. For us who love our R-13s and proclaim them to be the holy graile, those new horns in the stores with the R-13 stamp are NOTHING like what we have. I only wish I bought my A when I bought my Bb two years ago.

Is good quality of service to much to ask for from Buffet? Is the only way my friend's and I are going to get good buffet clarinets is if we win an orchestral job or become a professor at a university no matter how insignificant it is?

We all have varied backgrounds. We are amatures, college students who intend to make a carreer, professionals, teachers, people who just love the clarinet. No matter what we are, we all DESERVE good clarinets. Buffet needs to change its way, or we should change our brand of clarinets.
