Hi, New to the boards, I've been playing for almost 30 years though. I have a 1997 Buffet E11 special edition with silver plated keys. It's in great shape (one store tried telling me it was expired a couple years ago, it just needed 3 pads and some adjustments.) I know it's not going to compare to a pro, but I've always loved it's sound, and it plays smoother and with less resistance then any other I've played. As I've gotten older, I've started appreciating a darker sound more, especially for playing in church with a P&W group. I've been debating either getting a second clarinet with a darker sound for that, and keeping this one with the symphonic band I play with, or if I should get a different barrel. I've tried a Selmer 10G barrel, it gave a bit darker tone, but not significant. I have a K10M mouthpiece and usually use Mitchell Lurie prestige 3.5s, (please don't suggest vandoren, can't stand them and they make my lips burn).
On another note, I had a lovely Selmer Eb (sop) years ago that had a rich slightly dark tone, but I don't remember what model style it was, wouldn't mind finding one like it.
