"If you are a Buffet player, the older Privilege would make you swoon. The new one, not so much." - That's what happened to me. That resonance, presence, omg... I mean, I did love my Buffet Festival a lot.. but Privilege Mk I.. this is something else.

I am on the fence now. I come from the classical neck of woods but over the past 6 years I have mainly played B'way / off-B'way, big bands, klezmer, Balkan, a bit of jazz, etc. And now I am torn between an opportunity to buy a pair for my Bb Privilege and – a bari sax, which, at this price point and for what it is, will bear minimal resale value after a couple years. Just a good Chinese copy of Selmer Series II bari that I won't ever, ever, ever afford to buy in its original form, so to speak. I have barely done a gig or two on the A clarinet last year, and getting a bari seems to make a bit more sense, at least in theory... but my heart belongs to that beautiful A Privilege...
