The Legende I played last year really impressed me, but while I liked some qualities of the tradition (that I have found lacking in recent Buffet clarinets) I generally have found the sound a little "small" for my liking. I appreciate the concept of a focused sound projecting (as opposed to "blasting" the sound) but I found the Tradition just "pushed back" a little than I was comfortable with.
Last week I found myself next to a brand new pair of Tradition-2, with 10 min to spare, so whipped out a mouthpiece and gave them a play.
I wish I hadn't done so, they were GREAT. They had the focused shape/sound of the Tradition 1, but with much less sense of feeling hemmed in by resistance. And less of a feel that the resistance was defining/shaping the sound.
Very nice clarinets, sadly I can't see myself buying new horns in the foreseeable future.
