 critical thoughts on the new TRADITION Clarinet from Buffet Crampon

I would like to take this opportunity once to give a few critical comments on the new Buffet Crampon Clarinet "tradition". This model is certainly one of the best of Buffet Crampon clarinets, because there is nothing new. The base Model BC-20 has proved invaluable and has always been a very good clarinet. From a new development is nothing to see (in many aspects). The mechanism is Buffet standard and has nothing of development costs. The price of this model is much too high. What justifies this price? What I do see the worst, are not silvered pillars! How can someone come to such an idea? It will lead for any professional player after some time to big problems. We all know the German silver will be without galvanization by the hand welding damaged and some of the pillars will respond quickly. There will be erosion of the material and also we will see porous areas. The musicians can let silver plated the pillars in their repair shop, but you will loose the warranty, so no solution! There are no sound improvements with not plated pillars, this argument is nonsense. A classic example of how marketing can kill quality. I can express it only in the following formula:

Very good clarinet + not galvanized pillars + Price = customers dazzle "TRADITION"

SAD!
