I just tried a brand new Buffet Tradition Bb at Twigg in Montreal. It was right out of the box and not set up at all, but I still loved it. I didn't try it for long, but in a direct comparison of a Tosca, Festival, Vintage, Divine, R13, RC, and my own R13 Prestige, it won by a long shot.
Overall impression was that it's got a lovely creamy sound, but it had enough power and edge to it that I could push the sound as far as I wanted it to go. It had a great "ping" to it and the articulation was very light and responsive. No tuning problems at all.
Interestingly, in the low end of the chalumeau it felt a bit strange at first. I eventually figured out that it had more power than I expected, and I have to focus the air differently than I would on another clarinet. Without that particular focus, it was a bit "woofy," but I was able to make it very resonant and full once I got used to it. Hard to describe really.
Anyway, that's an initial impression of the Tradition! I'm definitely very, very intrigued and want to try more.
