Yes, there is a reason Buffet is #1. It's a strong reason but not a particularly good one: tradition. It's a status symbol in most high school band rooms. Reality will catch up with Buffet some year or decade soon if they can't produce a consistent ready-to-play entry level professional grade product and others can, especially if there's a significant price difference.

Nope. There ARE some BAD Buffets out there, and they are not rare. Are you speaking from heresay or your own personal experience? Once you've become a highly proficient player and then played and evaluated many dozens of R13's the truth becomes quite clear.

I love my 1980's R13, and it's recently become my primary Bb clarinet again, but that doesn't mean that all Buffets are great. I've played some, especially new ones in recent years, that are worse in some critical ways than my Vito.

I understand you're on "Team Buffet" and hopefully you've got a great instrument. However, presenting your opinion that Buffets are 'the best no matter what' as fact is not really helpful to anyone.
