 Re: Choice of Eb Clarinets?

Its been a few years since I got my latest Eb but my experiences were:

An older Buffet R13 (about 10 years old). Nice tone good intonation sadly not for sale

New Buffet, in all flavours I tried - tone ranging from indifferent to reasonable, intonation esp. in the upper clarion totally uncontrollable using my set-up.

New Yamaha, good intonation throughout range though the tone and general response of the instrument was no better than the Noblet Artist I was upgrading.

Leblanc Opus. Wonderful instrument, would have bought it on the spot had it been for sale however it had had hundreds of pounds worth of work done to it to get it into that state. I couldn't try any other Leblancs as there were none available in this country at that point.

New Selmer. Good tone and intonation. Can be made to project or blend depending on whats needed. This is the one I went for and haven't regretted it for a minute.

Of course these are just my findings based on the fairly limited supply of instruments that were available then. Don't discount the Noblet Artist if you find one 2nd hand, with a decent mouthpiece it is a good instrument. I played mine for about 7 years and only changed because the parts I was getting were pushing the instrument to its limits and I needed something I could get a bit more controlled projection out of.
