How to choose a good Buffet clarinet

Author: Micke Isotalo ★2017 Date:   2018-07-25 12:06 Buffet clarinets as they are when leaving Buffet's factories (especially those in France?) seem to need to be more or less rebuilt to function properly. There is also almost a kind of sub-industry about choosing out the good ones from the bad ones, where the bad ones are considered beyond saving by any rebuild or similar. My questions is how to choose a "good one" by yourself, without the services of this sub-industry? What are the specific things I should look for? Also information about Buffet bass clarinets in this regard would be of interest, along the "regular" ones. This subject has surely been touched before, but at least my own search attempts didn't get but fragmented results. Thus I'm now posting this as a specific topic. A link to possible, comprehensive previous posts would be more than welcomed. Of course a lot could be said about the morals of such a company policy as Buffet's, and some of you may want to suggest other makers (personally I'm already a "non-Buffet" player since a very long time), but lets try to keep this thread to the actual topic .
