Re: choose a horn... from custom maker vs named brands

It's all about personal taste. Before I choose to switch to a Selmer Signature I tried many different brands, not all, but I tried a friends Chadash and found it to be a fine instrument but it didn't do anything more for me that my R 13 already did, I tried several models of Buffets over a period of several years. I did fall in love with one Buffet Vintage clarinet that the Buffet rep. brought for us BSO players to try several years ago when they first came out with that model but when I asked later about buying it he said it was already put in inventory and could not find it so I tried several others but was not happy with any of them. One day, when taking a student to try out R 13s I tried the Selmer Signatures and other model Selmers and just fell in love with the tone and feel of one Signature so I bought it. It's as simple as that, I tried something that I loved and bought it, case closed. That's the reason for buying a new clarinet. Love at first play. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
