 www.buffet-crampon.com has changed, and it looks much nicer. Unfortunately, they no longer have the serial number look-up :(. 
 
My Setup: 
R13 Clarinet (Ridenour Lyrique as my backup/marching instrument) 
Walter Grabner K11 mouthpiece 
Rico Reserve 3.5's 
Bonade ligature

 DUUUUDE.  The only thing useful on that webside was the serial # database!!      
 
Well...I only used it once...but it was really great!

 Man, you'd think a company known for the tone quality of their instruments would at least have a decent-sounding recording of the Copland.  Very bad compression.

 That is a really awfull recording. Couldn't they have gotten Goodman or Drucker or something. It was played too fast, tone was hit and miss, shrill up high keys were VERY audible. I think thats the absolute worst I have ever heard Copland.

 Stop making that noise - my ears are bleeding! 
 
Anyone want to hazard a guess as who's murdering that piece? I thought it was probably [mentioning no name] but they don't endorse/play Buffets.

 Perhaps buffet somehow managed to penetrate my practice room.

 I keep forgetting to get a copy of the Copeland concerto.  
 
I've read the comments about Benny Goodman's recording in the archives, and I still find it strange that he played the 'jazz' bit with straight quavers - strange being that he's 'the King of Swing' isn't it?

 The clarinet "player" on that  site sounds a little like David Shiffrin.... a little.  I thought at first it might be him, but that HUGE key click in the beginning is not something I imagine would ever come from Mr. Shiffrin. 
 
My biggest complaint about the site besides the music is that they offer only small pics of the instruments.
