My thoughts are that Patricola is on track right now with their design. I know $4200 US dollars may be too much of an investment for some, but why would someone want a horn just because it is the same brand but not the same acoustic design and same performance standard (remember Buffet still puts their name on the B12)?

I really am reacting to the 'older' Patricolas from the mid 90's. I tried a rosewood version of their professional line clarinets then and was particularly underwhelmed. I would never have praised their products from that era.

Now the model of which you speak may be much better than the 90's model I remember, but it may also be the case that the Artistas are head and shoulders above that model.....I don't know.

The best way to arrive at your decision would be to arrange some way of trying them both and then deciding for yourself if the difference of cost justifies the savings.
