Re: Buffet Premium vs Yamaha YCL-34

You will likely only experience a slight improvement if any with the Buffet. I'd say skip the purchase. The Yamaha is more than enough if properly adjusted. Your ligature choice is also not a factor at this point. Discussions of alternate barrels and bells are also a waste of time.

Get a good mouthpiece and reed combo and practice. There are many combos that work. I'd suggest a Vandoren M13 Lyre and a 3.0-3.5 Traditional to get you going. This combo is used by professionals all over, so I'm pretty sure it'll be something to get you started.

In my opinion, intermediate clarinets are a total waste of money. Skip them entirely.
