 Re: Michael Lowenstern on a new Selmer Alto with critique

I've tried the current altos from Buffet, Selmer and Yamaha. I agree that the Selmer feels like an old design, but the Buffet isn't far behind... or in front. They both have objectively pretty poor ergonomics, and subjectively it's worse (in comparison with their bass clarinets). The Selmer definitely has an 80s vibe design, but even the current Buffet Prestige bass was designed in the late 90s and it's very good... so "age" isn't really an issue.

The alto really is a sort of tweener, so it depends what you do with it... pretty much the same as any instrument really.
