The Legende boxwood prototype is only the latest iteration in boxwoods by Buffet. In the modern era (from mid-20th century through now) Buffet may have experimented with boxwood as least as much as S and S has, only Buffet has done the work on a case by case basis, producing prototypes for certain players but never releasing a model for general catalog inclusion. In the 1970s and 80s, Bill McColl at the University of Washington was playing a Buffet boxwood clarinet in the Soni Ventorum woodwind quintet. YouTube has several videos of him performing on that instrument with this group: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=soni+ventorum+danzi.
In our century, Olivier Patey has played a Buffet boxwood for Beethoven symphonies and other classical pieces with the Concertgebow Orchestra and in chamber music performances such as the Beethoven trio here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wPwMEPk-V8 Paul Meyer and Nicholas Baldyrou have both played Buffet boxwood clarinets from time to time. Here's Meyer running the boxwood through its paces: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=paul+meyer+boxwood+clarinet. One can only wonder what each different Buffet model from the R13 through the Festival, RC, Tradition, Prestige, Tosca, and Divine would sound like in boxwood
