Double ditto on the previous postings.
Really fascinating how Buffet steps up their marketing game in a fashion we've only known in branches like sports equipment.
What I don't understand is: How would Fröst have any qualified experience in clarinet making, so that his thoughts would have a significant impact on the new model? Sure, working together with the pros is important to any manufacturer nowadays.
Once again, I'd like to compare this with the mountain biking world:
In downhill racing, pros punish equipment to such a extreme degree, that it might only last as long days. Now, these guys all have their own preferences, but there's always a dedicated mechanic for them to do the customising and service. Their input is importan for developing new gear, but only to a limited degree. New bikes are created by engineers, not riders, it's that simple.
So what draws Martin Fröst to creating his own clarinet? I'd argue that he actually plays an important role in that development - bet it ends up being a modification of a known bore concept and they'll advertise with his name.
Best regards,
Christian
