Larry, I must apologize to you for my "brusk" attitude with the "foot in mouth" deal, etc. and yield to your position and status in the clarinet community. I'll have to admit, it took someone pointing out your position with the Detriot symphony for me to realize you really are someone who knows his stuff.
I agree with your opinion of selecting an instrument. It is a personal thing and many people do not like the Opus--but for those who do like it, like myself, they are quite passionate about it. Take Larry Combs, for instance.
But for all around nice tone and great response and beauty, the Buffet Festival is hard to beat! Actually, most people have more than one clarinet--so theoretically one could own an Opus and a Buffet along with a bank!!!
And, I've been married to the same guy for 33 years now--so I guess I'm getting pretty old.
