The Clarinet BBoard

Re: older "golden era" R13 vs. more recent

Author: Bob Bernardo  Date:   2018-06-15 08:32 As a comment for not answering your question, no Yamaha has been making horns for awhile, mainly student horns. But the last 10 years or so they've become more popular and even more popular with the CSVR's, the last 2 or 3 years. Once perhaps considered instruments for beginners or what I like to call toys, they are now beasts. They've done their homework. Here is something interesting, which very few people know about. I happen to know about it because I'm one of their many Artists. Before they release a new model to the world or to the USA, the clarinets pro clarinets have been tested in Japan for 5 to 10 years. During this time a ton of research and development is being done. So when the horns hit the USA now they are really great horns. When you go buy a Yamaha CSVR chances are you only have to play one and you can play a concert that night. Quality Control is that good. Sure some slip by that don't make the grade, but Yamaha will honor this and give you another new horn. Buffet owned the market not too long ago. Every symphony player used Buffets. It's slowly changing. Will Buffet survive? I'm not sure. After my experience with the president of Buffet in Florida I don't care.
