The old and outdated design of Buffet clarinets particularly the keywork and not so great intonation prevented me from playing my best for a long time.
I tried Royal Global clarinets, and these issues have been resolved. The keywork feels and works much better and particularly the intonation is much better too.
I'm playing much better on Royal Global than ever before.

It is good to hear that you've found a solution for yourself and the way you play. It is important to know as well that there are many different ways around specific playing challenges. Traditionally though, for many (MANY) years Buffet and Selmer were pretty much the only choices, with Buffet offering the preferred sound for classical music. To this day you'll find a majority of US orchestral sections populated with Buffets due to the fact that teachers learned from their teachers and passes on the way to play to their students. Today though you CAN find other brands sneaking their way into what is still predominantly a Buffet orchestral world (in the US).
