The Csg clarinet is maybe not for all...I love the steadiness in the tone but for Buffet r13 players this may be unbearable after awhile. However, the tuning is not perfect on any clarinet so I will say take time to look at what type of timbre and flexibility you want.

I really like the dark overtones of the CSG models..I use m13 lyre mouthpieces with a 3.5 Vandoren V12 reed with not a moment of trouble. one thing it is really more an issue of how some players are shaped..but Yamaha makes excellent clarinets and the SV and SEV are very nice. I played on the SV for many years and really liked them...for me the CSG is a really warm sound..but not for all! The CSG has a patina of overtones I think are pleasing...make sure you find the right set up..your current mouthpieces maynot work well for you on it!
