I ordered in December '07 so that price is what stuck. $8600. I see that it has gone up since then although I think the prices are better in Europe than here. Or at least what is listed seems less. Maybe they haven't updated the prices!

Yeah, as clarnibass has inferred there are actually a lot of people who do jazz alto clarinet and some of that is quite interesting. Have a couple of those recordings. Don't know if the Buffet lends itself more to that style ore not as that's not my area. My improv skills are limited!! All i know is that it has a lovely sound and plays in tune and the mechanism is well thought out.

From my dealer: apparently Buffet is making these to order rather than stocking them so I had an 8 month wait. You might get lucky if a dealer has one on the shelf. Maybe some of the bigger places do.

Eefer guy
