Re: Market Demographics-- What's wrong with Buffet.

I am not a professional musician. I play with a rather large local symphony that is composed of mostly professional musicians. Point being, I am studying engineering and am all self and youtube taught with some advice along the way. I would call myself a rather decent clarinetist. I also play on and off with clarinet choirs. So enough about me, I currently play a Leblanc Pete Fountain clarinet that I detest. It has a very harsh and snappy "in your face" sound to it. Needless to say, I am looking for a clarinet. I play on a Vandoren 5RV, a crystal Pete Fountain mouthpiece, and a mouthpiece I designed and made myself. I use all or these for different situations. I feel Buffets marketing tactics are RUINED by people on this board with comments like "try different clarinets and find what works for you." This ruins their tactics because then people don't go and drop $9000 on a Divine just because Paul Meyer plays it or buy an RC because Fröst plays on one (sometimes). Because when pitting a Buffet R13 vs a CSVR, usually the CSVR would win if it were a blind, unbiased test.

Thanks,
Lukas Johnson
