I would not be comfortable using a new instrument for a performance. At least not a Buffet clarinet, based on my recent experience.

When I bought the clarinet it was adjusted in the shop but still needed some serious "tweaking" after that.

It may be different with Yamaha clarinets- the tech in the shop said that, as a rule, Yamaha instruments can be played right away and Buffets, as a rule, need to be adjusted, with some exceptions, of course.

The new Buffet has left pinkey keys placed differently from the old R13, and some keys were much stiffer/harder to push comparing to the older one.

Just my opinion of course.
