This is interesting, because, when I was a kid studying clarinet in the 1970s in England, the general view put about was that Buffets were very inflexible compared either to 1010s or 926s, and that 1010s were only "better" than 926s because they offered the greatest flexibility of all. They were certainly notorious for allowing the player sufficient flexibility to hang himself, and it was thought that players who were not blessed with good natural tone production would be better off on a Buffet because the instrument "did it all for you". It is now quite difficult to understand where these notions came from. I remember trying an R13 briefly in around 1978 and deciding that the above analysis was about right, (particularly following attending a concert at around that time and hearing Robert Hill "prove" this thesis in an orchestral setting), and that set me on path to buying a pair of 1010s. But the penalty was that they sounded as rough as hell in orchestral settings, and I might have been better off trying to make a go of RCs with a suitable mouthpiece. But in 1978 that would have been bucking the trend in my area. Within five short years the landscape had changed for good.
