Bill..

Yeah.... It's alwayz a real quest to get the clarinet you want.... I took more than a year to find my pair of buffets. I went to the buffet factory near Paris..... Tried at least 30 - 40 RC's and I didn't find any one that suited me... I was lucky to find mine in a corner of the factory where no one could see them.... But now.... I know I'm keeping them for life.....

One recommendation..... If you're a beginner, don't go for a top model staight away. You don't know the clarinet well enough to make a good selection. I mean... can you see a significant difference between two R13's ?

It would be stupid ending up having to sell your clarinet to buy the one that suits you a couple years later..

I played ten years on a student clarinet (buffet E13), and I managed o.k., even ranked 2nd at the national swiss youth soloist contest with it.... Instruments don't make music.. it's the musician that makes it.

But yeah.. after ten years, I thought I disurved a pair of professional babies.

Good luck with your quest to the ultimate clarinet !
