I talked with Julian Bliss at the Fest and they are working on a new Bliss horn. Will it be a pro level horn? I don't know. I just don't remember from our conversation at the Festival.

Buffet owns them? This is news to me. I don't think so. Unless it just happened in the last few months. I think Selmer owns them. At the ClarinetFest Selmer and LeBlanc were right next to each other in an L shape table formation.

I think Selmer has the funds to support a Bliss pro model. And Selmer is coming out with new quality horns all of the time. It's exciting. I hope they back up Julian.

Lets see what happens at the NAMM Convention at the January Convention when new instruments appear. This is when 3/4 of a million people walk through this convention from all over the world in 4 days. It's nuts. It is open only to dealers and manufactures. Not to the general public. Julian will most likely be there with/near Selmer, so I'll look for him and try to provide some updated information.

We should see Yamaha come out with a new top pro horn. Buffet may too. Hope it is something good. Hope Buffet has been reading this Board the past 2 years and learned from it. I know Selmer will have some bass clarinets coming out. All black. I may buy some of the Selmer Concept mouthpieces, which are pretty darn good. Lets see if they will sell me 1 or 2 dozen or so.
