Re: $26 (was $25) clarinet

Thanks Bob, you mentioned things which I had read about concerning which stages the asbestos is most dangerous but I didn't include them in my post.

Let us now look at two new student clarinets. The Yamaha 255 and its brick and mortar twin, if I recall correctly, are made entirely in China.

The Buffet Premier and the Prodige are molded in France and then sent to Germany where they are drilled with precision. After the drilling, they are then sent to China where the padded keys are installed. China has nothing to do with the basic mold. Dave Kessler told me all of this.

Personally, and I speak for myself only, I believe that was a very smart decision on the part of Buffet. My gut tells me there is no lead or asbestos in the molded bell, the lower and upper sections nor in the barrel.

All of my research has certainly had an effect upon me. And, how is that? I'm going to be more diligent in finding out where something was made; be it a clarinet, a mouthpiece, a reed, etc.

Pretty much everyone knows this BB has a CSO list. This list contains clarinets made primarily in China which are of questionable value.

I think we need an MSO list as well. MSO would stand for Mouthpiece Shaped Object. I sense the Rico Graftonite mpc would probably be at the top of the list. I believe we should also add Bakelite mouthpieces made in China to this new list.

Just a thought...and my opinions.

Corrections welcomed.
