I've compared my King Marigaux 350 with the Marigaux 355 and noticed some differences.

Marigaux 355 had wider 12ths than my Marigaux 350.

Throat Bb was better/clearer on the 350.

Pad cups on the '350' were smaller than on the '355'. Actually "Marigaux 350" has the smallest key cups I've ever seen. I had to order 8.5mm pads for the Upper-Joint because the usual 9/9.5mm pads are way too big. Smaller pads = better venting and that probably is one of the secrets why this clarinet sounds so good.

I've noticed that King "Marigaux 355" had more Traditional features than the King "Marigaux 350" has. I would speculate that the *T* stands for Traditional model.
