Yeah I saw that.
They're smart by appealing to collectors, a lot like other luxury brands like Ferrari and Gucci, etc.
Did they sell all their "limited edition Mopane" clarinets yet? I think there were just 100 split up between 4 different variations.
I think these might just sit for a while.

Chris P,
Thank you for correcting me. I believe I simply went by the title of your thread.
So those Buffet Mopane clarinets first introduced in 2021 were made during Buffet's 196th year of operation.
I believe David H. Kinder is right...these Buffet "200 ANS" Mopane clarinets were most likely made for collectors.

At least it's got a switchable F#-G# link which is something Buffet basses have been lacking for aeons.
