Very sweet, round sound that holds well and excellent tuning. Not as cutting and aggressive as the R13 and Festival, warmer and more intimate. Blends with other instruments and orchestral sections superbly. This model will probably be my next clarinet. Listen to Jonathan Gunn's new CD on the Centaur label. I think the results he gets on his Tradition (he was part of the Buffet design team) are characteristic of what the Tradition is capable of. Compared to the higher priced Legende and Tosca, I'd say Tradition II (if that is the right designation) is a more relaxed, laid back clarinet, with slightly less punch to the sound but still with good acoustical presence--an introverted vibrancy rather than an extroverted one. The Tradition is less buzzy than the R13, and quality control seems better (in the 3 or 4 I've tried).
