I just discovrede Tom Ridenour's great page. In his "Articles" section, he wrote:
"Logically, clarinets which tend to produce great degrees of flexibility will also tend to be unstable. Clarinets which tend to produce great degrees of stability will also tend to be inflexible. Such extremes ought to be avoided, while the optimum instrument is the one which has large amounts of both these qualities with little or no compromise. Such an instrument may be considered a truly great instrument."
I just wanted to say that's a description of a Leblanc L7 if I've ever heard one. --Bill.

Actually, I think it's a very good description of a Buffet R13

Being a proud owner of a great L 7, thanks Bill for a very astute comment. I do not quibble, tho , about including the R 13 and the Recital in this select group.

Here's the location of the Ridenour page:
http://home1.gte.net/klarinet/
I was very affected by recently reading his remarks about R-13, which I (accidentally) found by doing a search on the Klarinet Archives under "O. Lee Gibson." I won't attempt to paraphrase what Tom R. said about the R-13 there (and thus avoid libel!), but I recommend anyone to read his remarks. My Leblanc L7 is a miracle of an instrument. I have a Selmer Series 9 and a new "Recital," an R-13 (Bb and A), and, uh, some other stuff but if it came down to a desert island . . . I'll take my L7.
