Matt, I'm with you on the "craftsman-oriented" approach. In the world of brasswinds, we have Schilke and Kanstul here in the USA, both of whom consider their instruments to be lifetime investments. A few superbly engineered models are offered that cover every possible playing need. And--get this--both manufactures have made servicing their instruments an integral part of their business. Want a 50-year-old Schilke trumpet rebuilt to better-than-new? No problem, just call ahead to set up the job and then send it in!

The only clarinet builder offering anything close to that kind of commitment is Tom Ridenour. But, he's going to retire long before I am done playing clarinet.

And Fuzzy, it is absolutely not normal that Buffet gets away with sending out instruments that aren't completely assembled and adjusted. It's stupid that clarinetists accept this as normal. Should a dud brass instrument--or, for that matter, a dud Gibson guitar or Heckel bassoon--slip by quality control and end up purchased by an unsuspecting musician, such an instrument would immediately be returned under warranty--and, chances are, we'd hear all about the manufacturer's quality control going to hell all over Internet forums. It's time for clarinetists to get fired up about this and demand higher standards.
