Re: Clarinet - Patricola or Buffet or...?

David, I have tried many Buffets and Patricolas (and several other brands as well) but I don't see the point in your post. What quality do you mean exactly? Sound, response is subjective to some extent, but the wood and the keywork are objectively good quality, not amateur. Besides, I think the sound and response are well balanced too. Of course there are inferior ones among the Patricolas too, but I have tried (new!) Buffet clarinets that I wouldn't even use as a doorstop. Not to speak about how many top of the line Buffet cracks these days. So in my opinion both brands have strengths and weaknesses. However, I would at least hesitate to call Particolas 'amateur'.

Mark
