Edam is not that large, and Matthew's is right in the city centre. They are specialising in woodwinds, and not just in clarinets (I guess what they sell and repair most, are saxophones). I am probably going there this weekend, so I could see if they have any used RC's for sale right now. I've never bought a clarinet there, but I know they give you lots of playtime (best to make an appointment then). This weekend I am going there together with my wife, to test some barrels for her E13.
(the barrel of my BC20, a discontinued model, works better on her E13 than the original one, so she wants to find something similar, and we think a matching RC barrel might work).
I just checked Bert Wijnand's site, and he currently has three RC's listed. I am obviously biased because Bert maintains my clarinets, but if I were looking for another Buffet right now, that's where I would start. However, that's a less easy trip for you than Edam, and he is far from any tourist attractions in Den Haag. Matthew's is a solid and well known address for woodwinds, and Edam is a great place to walk around anyway.
Drop me an email please if you want me to play some clarinets Matthew's has available, and want me to make some recordings. I'll see what I can do then.
