RE: Buffet Clarinet Reputation

Tom Ridenour is a knowledgeable guy, but he has a serious credibility problem when it comes to criticizing clarinet manufacturers. He apparently had something to do with the design of the Leblanc Opus but now endorses (for money, I believe) the Selmer Signature.

That said, Buffet clarinets are better now than they have ever been.

If you find a clarinet from Selmer, Leblanc or Yamaha that you think plays "more evenly" than a Buffet, by all means buy it. But don't think you are buying a horn without tradeoffs. Clarinets play the way you play them, if it is uneven, you are playing it unevenly.

Ridenour seems convinced that it is impossible to play Buffet clarinets with a consistent tone quality and in tune. Marcellus, Wright, and many others prove him wrong.
