Fellow clarineters. Honestly, am I strange to miss my buffet that is in the shop. I'm practicing on an Artley because my older Selmer needs fixin' too. It seems that I miss breathing life into that inanimate piece of wood and making the best music I can possibly make. If this message seems wierd just dismiss it and carry on, Thanks!

Dennis,
You are ok...it is like having to eat a burger instead of the prime rib you are used to.

Ok in my book. I remember breaking in my R-13 and still having to play my old plastic beast some at the time to get enough practice time in. The comparison was like night and day.

I guess I'll feel the same when I get my set of Vintages in the beginning of August, along with a set of Scott barrels and mpcs, I'll miss my R13 (precious) but not for long!

Dennis -
I'm not sure about an Artley, but with my good mouthpiece and barrel, I make "my" sound on a Bundy or a Vito. In fact, I make my sound on a beat-up Morgan mouthpiece, a Legere reed and an ancient Lyric by Pedler that I keep by my computer. It's not that everything below the barrel is irrelevant, but it's you that can tell the difference, not the audience.
Best regards.

I've never heard a Buffet described as an "inanimate piece of wood" before. Interesting description.
