I have a couple of S1 clarinets, Bb and A, and they are both very fine instruments. Specially, my Bb clarinet. It is from the early seventies. I bought it 1972.
I dont think it has any problems with resistance. And I like the warm sound.
I had some trouble a couple of years ago with tuning. The Bb clarinet was sharp but I bought a longer barrel, 67 mm, and did much exercises in listening and measuring the differences in specially sharp tones. I learned to compensate and now I play well in tune.
In Sweden the S 1 was quite common in the early seventies but today most Buffet-players use RC. I´ve tried once but didn´t find the RC better, though many today say they are.
Maybe I buy a new clarinet some day. But today I´m perfectly satisfied with my S 1. But wow, it´s over thirty years old ..
