There are "good" and "bad" instruments in every line; maybe your Signet Special is a good one or Selmer 10 Paris is "not so good".

In my (limited) experience with Buffets, student clarinets did not tune as well and sounded like ''student" clarinets, with flat, boring tone.

The Selmer 10, on the other hand, tunes much better that Buffet E11 or Evette, and has better tone/sound quality.

Again, that's my experience with just a couple of Buffets E11 and a couple of Selmers (CT and 10).
