I've been trying many new instruments lately as part of a clarinetist's obligatory and never-ending search for something 'better'.
In my opinion, this is COMPLETELY different from all the other Buffet models. It's so different it might as well not even be a Buffet. To me, it's brighter, freer-blowing and the keys are INCREDIBLY comfy. I found, trying one out, that it shows up a lot of flaws in my technique. The respone and eveness are great, the keys are great, maybe the low F could come into handy in some situations but it's generally not needed.
I've tried 2 Bb's and I A and found them consistent and all of high quality. I haven't tried a Greenline. The A I tried was extraordinary and unfortunately a very ordinary student purchased it.
I am seriously considering the Tosca. Luckily I've got a BAM case because the Tosca's 'retro' case is shamefully tacky.
