GenEric - Good question. The CSG is a German designed clarinet. But the bore is larger than most German made horns. I've measured them. The latest model is the CSG111. The bore is a straight bore, unlike the French style tapered bores. There is a few players using them, but the more popular model is by far the CSVR. The CSVR A clarinet is by far the best A I've ever played on. It doesn't have the stuffiness of a Buffet. It is a real dream to play on and feels more like a Bb. Take a serious look at one or a set of these. Loren kitt just passed away. from the National Sym and he used these horns. We have John Yeh with the Chicago Sym playing on one. I think someone with the San Francisco Sym is using one, the Montreal Sym, a mess of the Burbank movie studio musicians. The list gets longer everyday. The Buffet loyalty is dropping fast.

I'm glad to see more and more players trying out Yamaha's. Then buying them. This business of going to Florida and hand picking Buffets is not cool. The Buffet's should already be playing great. It is just crappy workmanship. The people at Buffet don't care. Fire them. So we don't care either. We should not support them. That's why so many players are buying Yamaha's. They are simply great horns. The upper registers cannot be beat. Buffet has never made such a great upper register. Playing something like the Copland Concerto on an R13 is scary, on the Yamaha it is a blast. The notes pop right out. Try one of the Spohr Concerto's on a Buffet and then switch to a Yamaha. I bet you will buy a Yamaha right there on the spot. It makes clarinet playing fun again.
