Good news to all clarinet players! I have finally discovered that price is not necessarily the measure of an instrument! I have had my Buffet R13 since 1990, when I was a sophomore in college. Prior to that, I played a Selmer Series 9, which I still love. Last year, I got a call from a local dealer who knew that I was interested in a nice A clarinet, but did not want to spend the money for a new Buffet. He had purchased some Leblanc Eternite clarinets, which Leblanc no longer makes, so they were clearing them out. I loved it so much that I bought a Bb, too. I only paid $975.00 each for them--silver plated and all.
I never play my Buffet anymore and I have never sounded better or enjoyed playing more!
