I have switched last year to buffet Tradition after 3 years on CSG.
What impressed me was the easy of sound in all register and volumes, together with a very good tuning.
I have chosen my Tradition between several Buffets models, from prestiges to Divines.
No one offered me the same flexibility and confort of playing.
Construction wise, the Tradition is similar to the Prestige for the mechanics and pads, it lacks the metal tenon caps ( which for me is a plus, not a minus) and the wood is stained.
The logo is engraved like the Selmers and not printed like standard buffets, meaning that it can be re-painted easily.
The Tosca I never get the keywork, for my hands it feels very odd.
The Devine is a beautiful clarinet, but for me too expensive. It is resonant, light, super well responsive, perfectly in tune.
but in the end the Tradition is a very good clarinet. If you look at the features you may think it is overpriced, but if you close you eyes and think only at the feeling of playing it, it is better than a Prestige.
