Re: Eb soprano (eefer) - critically underdeveloped/underplayed instrument

I have played many clarinets including eefers. With this experience you think you know what you can expect from different makes and models.
But sometimes you can be surprised:
Last week I tried an old Buffet eefer with a wrap around register key, so from probably around 1910 or so. To my surprise the instrument was in tune, even the altissimo was in tune without using extra keys! I was really surprised and as the instrument was also very cheap I bought it immediately.

It makes me think: Is this just a lucky shot? If not, why have most modern eefers inferior intonation?
