Hi Tom, it's Eddie. Let me first say that "Iggy" was not fired. He told me when he left Chicago, remember it was many moons ago, it was because they would not hire his wife to play violin so he took the National Symphony job, then came to Baltimore because at that time Peabody was part of the deal and they hired his wife too. If you knew both of them as I did, you would know why, she as very overbearing. He quit Baltimore because they fired her. His thinking was if he treatened to quit they would keep her, it didn't work in Baltimore either, they let him quit.
As far as Morales and Buffet goes let me first say that he would sound great on a Bundy. In his case it could certianly be said it's not the gun but the gunner. As you know he studied with me for five summers from age 13-17. By the time he was 17 I'm not sure which one of us was learning more from the other. What a talent. He has to be one of the greatest clarinet players that ever lived.
As far as Buffet goes. I use an R13 A clarinet but bought a Selmer Signiture Bb two years ago because I just loved the tone. I picked it out of about a half dozen and had to work on it for several months before I got the intonation the way I wanted it because every player voices certain notes differently. I also replaced the bell and barrel with Backun for an even richer tone and better intonation. I still use my R13 sometimes too. I also use a Selmer Bass clarinet. The point is, it's the player that plays in tune not the make or model of the clarinet. Buffet, like Selmer and Leblanc, all make very fine instruments, some of them play pretty well in tune off the shelf, and some of them are terrible off the shelf. We all get our instruments tuned to our likeness and ears, replace the bells and or barrels and then we learn to play it in tune, or not. Morales would make a Bundy sound great and in tune.
