Walter's experience very closely reflects my own. Over the past few months I have been looking for a "recital quality" instrument to take the pressure off my regular Bb and help to ensure my mainstream pair remain suitable for front line use for many years to come. Over the years I've tried most manufacturers' professional models, mainly out of curiosity, but not found anything I enjoyed quite as much as my current setup. From my recent more concerted search, I borrowed a Yamaha CSGIII and a Selmer Privilege for trial, planning to buy one or other of them. I nearly took a Buffet Tradition too, but ultimately chose not to as I preferred the keywork on the Yamaha and the Selmer.
On the off-chance I felt I should just try a Legende, which I cynically suspected would be a "blinged-up", overpriced Tradition, and easily crossed off the list. I was wrong. It was astonishingly even in its response across the registers, supporting a smooth, pianissimo in the altissimo register, free articulation, and offering plenty of power across the range without the intonation appearing to suffer. I took it on approval with the Yamaha and Selmer instruments. After a few days' trial, including a blind test with my wife, who is a flautist, and input from a couple of clarinet-playing colleagues, I had to accept that the Legende was comfortably the pick of the bunch. I ended up buying it, even though it was well above my planned budget.
Given Buffet's reputation for inconsistency Walter's post is reassuring, as it suggests my discovery of a terrific new instrument, which I'm looking forward to getting to know properly, may not be an aberration!
