I have been interested to get get a Buffet Festival Bb because it has a dark focussed sound similar to German clarinet while still sound open and flexible like any other French clarinet.
However I'd like to ask about the Eb Lever, because from what I see is that there are 2 different touchpiece sizes and shapes appeared on different instruments of the same model. One is the the standard long shape which is found most Boehm system clarinets(reference photo 1). The other is a smaller and rounder shape which reassembles what can be found on most German system instruments, and also appeared at the promotional photo of the discussed instrument(see photo 2). Which touchpiece size and shape is Buffet making now on the Festival?
