Re: Backun Moba bell not fitting on '89 Buffet E10

Thank you Chris P, I didn't know about the Schreiber thing... since on the case, clarinet upper piece and on the original bell there is the Buffet Crampon logo. Also came with a metal ligature and mouthpiece cover with Buffet Crampon France engraved. The name "Schreiber" and "made in Germany" are not mentioned in any place. The serial number is also a regular Buffet one.

What really surprises me is that the Backun Moba bell perfectly fits my 1984's Yamaha 26II I was playing before. I tried to search on Google about compatibility problems with Backun equipments but they only talked about tenon's diameter problems (mostly with Selmer and some Yamaha models) which is not my case, as I got the Buffet diameter size ones and the fit is just perfect. Of course I can't complain to the Backun, not only because it was a gift, but because I assume it's my clarinet being weird made. Probably I'm the only one that in 2020 thought about using Backun accessories on a 1989's E10.

Anyway I checked with the tuner, when the clarinet is cold the long B and C are just a little flat. When it gets warmer they are in tune. The throat notes are a little sharp but much less than before. With the standard barrel and bell, when the clarinet started to get warm, it used to play so sharp that I had to pull out the barrel a lot.
