RE: What's the S1?

I own four different buffet clarinets and am a buffet clinician.and yes,I do have an S-1. There is so much mis-information on this board sometimes it seems people just make stuff up . About 1974 Buffet came out with the S-! and the RC
to offer three different bores and clarinet models along with the R-13.
The true difference is the speed of the taper in the bore of the left hand of each of the different models. They are all poly. The S-1 like the rc sold more elsewhere besides the U.S. And due to poor sales was dropped.
I have worked in a retail music store for twenty five years and have played some great S-1 clarinets. Mitchel Lurie played one for about 10 years.
