Re: "Donut" Fork Eb/Bb

Karl:

-Did it sound good? Volume? Tone? Intonation? Compared to the standard Eb/Bb fingering? Compared to other forked Eb/Bb designs?

-Did it feel okay?

-Did it seem to affect the tone or intonation of other notes? Negatively? Positively?

-The forked Eb/Bb I have on my 50s Selmer CT is also annoying to repair, so I'm not put off by that difficulty—unless it was REALLY annoying to repair?

Anyone else have experience with/heard anything about/know anything about Buffet's "donut?"

And are 1920s Buffets, like the one above (Fox-customized!), any good? I'd think the wood would be far superior to anything made today, but I don't know much about Buffet's history.
