Re: Buffet Legende test

Really awesome playing. It's interesting that he has such a clear and focused tone on this rather "soft" setup, maybe this has something to do with the new bore design too??? I'd have expected the Legende to sound warmer, or maybe that's just him, but this brighter sound suits the Carmen Fantasy very well anyways.

If I understand correctly, the Legende is a premium version of the Tradition, boasting gold-plated posts and naturally aged wood.
Surely it is a fine clarinet, though I wonder why it retails at 5,4k€ here in Europe, when an Oscar Adler 912S, which has the very same gold-plate upgrade, while the rest is rhodium-plated, and comes with a unique high-quality case, costs 1,4k less. Adler is a relatively familiy business, so they can't nearly produce as cost-effectively as Buffet - I just don't see what the additional 1,4k go into, but I've already made the same experience with the Tradition vs. Uebel Superior (the Tradition is a good horn and would be great if it sold at price like Yamaha's CSVR, but it's 3,7k instead....)
