Since I just switched to Yamaha CSG's from Buffet R-13's it's interesting to see what people say. Here are my impressions after one month:
The CSG's have better intonation than the R-13's
The CSG's are much more even in response going note to note.
The key work is better than my Buffets - feels better to my hands (big).
The sound is focused throughout the registers.
It does project. When trying a number of CSG's - all were good. Some were slightly more covered, some had more projection - all were good intonationwise, it was just a matter of choosing the right one for me - like which ice cream do you want.
I like the tone color of the CSG's, but then I feel that the way someone sounds has much more to do with the tone picture in their head. Different clarinets only make it easier or harder to get that picture in our head out to an audience.
There are fine players playing Selmer, Leblanc, Buffet, Yamaha, and others. Are they fine players because of the clarinet or because of their idea on how the clarinet should sound?
Some of the players of the Yamaha CSG right now are Bil Jackson, David Shiffrin, and Peter Wright. I think this list will expand once people try the Yamaha clarinets.
In looking at a new set of clarinets I tryed the Selmer Signature, St. Louis, and Recitalist and the Buffet Tosca and the Leblance OpusII. None of those fit what I was looking for. Are they bad clarinets? No, but they were not right for me. Before judging a clarinet, try it or better yet try a couple and see if they are consistent. After I got these clarinets I played them for some colleauges and they all aggreed that these are great clarinets. I did get out my R-13's to compare and I couldn't go back to them. The Buffets were good clarinets but the Yamaha's are great clarinets.
