More about increasing sales than providing solid, objective facts about the improvements made. The presentation uses sublimation to suggest that if Martin Frost is trying a new Tradition, it must be among the best in the world and maybe it would be a good idea to get one fast so you can play like he does. No sooner had the "old" Tradition appeared than the Legend followed quickly on its heels, for a much higher price. So now with people wishing that they could afford the Legend, (which sells for just under $8000), Buffet offers a new improved Tradition that supposedly incorporates the superior qualities of the Legend, but at a less scorching price. But what exactly are these improvements? Maybe they are solid and substantial but we are never told. Something more than a changed logo and low F correction key? Bottom line: When you try any clarinet forget everything you saw in the ad; forget Martin Frost--he can multiarticulate "Let's Be Happy" on a $40 Chinese stencil if he has to. How does the clarinet play for you? Is it worth the extra cash? How does it compare to other clarinets by the same maker and by other makers? Does it do anything better than the clarinet you already have? That's all that matters.
