Re: What is wrong with Buffet?

I agree with the quality control problems at Buffet. I've tried about a dozen new R13s in the past few years and found most of them have sealing problems. However, Buffet is still by far the dominant brand. Sure you have some big names playing other brands but they still are overwhelmingly the clarinet of choice. Look at their list of artists:

The idea that Yamaha or Backun or any other brand has a growing presence in the American clarinet community is not backed by any evidence. I think it's simply confirmation bias. If you look at the list of people winning jobs, they are all playing Buffet and many are playing Vandoren for that matter.

Personally, I think Buffet makes a lot of duds. However, when you find one that is great, it's really great, even if you have to spend a little more to fix it up.
