They all do that without the key when played above p-mp. It's a design compromise of the Boehm clarinet. If you made the low register play in tune at loud volumes, other parts of the horn would be out. You helped make my point. It's up to the player to make the pitch on a wind instrument. The idea is to get a clarinet that is close to in tune, then you do the rest.
I will make a trend prediction here: The Backun Rapsodie - and other clarinets - WILL NOT hold value like the Buffet horns do in the future. Let's revisit this post in a few years and see if that is true. People...it's all business and marketing trends here, not rocket science or mysticism.
Brenda, I thought I tried and bought alot of stuff! lol
