I agree that Balderou's playing here is solidly within the French tradition of vibrant sonority and ease of production, but he is evolving that approach with a greater dynamic range and a heftier, more substantial tonal presence that is less nasal than the older French. No doubt the Legende is offering him some help in attaining that goal. Two posters mentioned that the Tradition and Legende can handle "loud" quite well (along with very soft and everything in between.) Buffet probably knows exactly what it is doing in designing its latest instruments to hold the sound well at all dynamic levels and to add a layer of substance to thicken the timbre a little, reduce stridency, and still retain an attractive, controllable tonal shape. I would be willing to pay for those features rather than the multi-hue color arrangement of the metal.
