Re: Buffet Designers Discuss the History of the Buffet Clarinet and Give Reasons for Each Design

Regarding weights, here are some Bb's (including barrel but not mp):

1979 RC: 748g
1982 R13: 749g
2010 RC Prestige: 784g

So the RC clearly wasn't heavier last Century. The earlier instruments lack the extra LH key, of course, and if you took that off then probably the Prestige would weigh around 750g, the same as the others. So that "heavy" statement seems wrong - more concerning than other errors (RC introduced in 1985) that could just be typos by the journalist. Maybe the auto-translation failed? It seems to have had fun with Robert Carree on occasion.
