The Clarinet BBoard

My Buffet Festival B flat was played professionally in the Sydney Symphony and London Symphony for 4 years before I got it (12 years ago)... it had a LOT of hours on it then, and many many since, but I'm perfectly happy. If I DO ever need another Bb clarinet, I'll pay for a restoration of my 1963 R13, played for 40 years by a US pro player. On this clarinet, the keys are totally shot but the wood is AMAZING, it sings like nothing I've ever found "on the shelf".
This doesn't mean all old clarinets are good- the A clarinet that was paired with the Festival still plays well, but the bore changed and it lost something. What it DOES mean is that a good piece of wood CAN (not necessarily "will") last so it's worth looking.
