Re: Buffet Factory Buying

I would be delighted to hear if Buffet has changed their policy. They have new owners since my experience in 1997 with my Buffet Prestige. That particular clarinet was purchased by my clarinet professor through an arrangement by a music store owner friend of ours. The music store here was a major dealer (supplying several towns around here) for Buffet. He (the dealer) called the factory and set up an appointment for the prof to go and hand-select 15 or so R-13s and my Prestige. They would not let the prof take them home with him (not even the one he selected for himself), but required them to be shipped home in a regular shipment. But, he enjoyed the experience and I got a great instrument with a story. The music store owner marked the retail price UP on the hand-selected ones and did a mini clarinet symposium with the prof. Worked for all of us.
