Re: Vintage Buffets still a choice for professionals?

I'm a 1960s R13 player who actually added the left pinky Ab/Eb lever, although by no means am I a professional.

For about a week I had to get use to the placement of this key but thereafter it wasn't something I needed to conscientiously think about.

I don't use it much but where I do it's really indispensable for me. A classic example for me, for those familiar, is in the opening of the Cadenza in Messager's Solo De Concurs where many players accelerate and concurrently have to face a mid note pinky swap if they don't have this left pinky key.

When doing the etudes I've performed most of my life, where I already know where the pinky swaps lie, I'm inclined to not use this key, which doesn't get in my way. For me it's a nice to have.
