Re: Is my RC different?

I always found it strange that Buffets with an articulated C#/G# use a smaller diameter tonehole set fairly high and offset to the right (as you're looking at the rings) on their clarinets, as opposed to Selmer etc. that use a large diameter tonehole for their articulated C#/G#.

I thought the idea of the re-sited C#/G# tonehole on full Boehms was to make advantage of the better positioning and larger diameter in order to give a better quality note when compared to standard clarinets where this tonehole is by necessity placed too high and small in diameter to give it the correct pitch, but diminished tone quality.
