Re: Patricola CL4 vs. Selmer Presence

Hi ml964. I can't say how the Presence compares to the Buffet R13 since I haven't played an R13 in many years. I tried one out back in the 1980's and found it very resistant, but it might have been out of adjustment. I find the Presence very free blowing with a powerful chalumeau register. The Patricola is fairly free blowing too but not as loud as the Presence. I have heard that the new Patricola "Artista" model is very powerful, but these models seem impossible to find. My CL4 is the "Virtuoso" model which is available from WWBW, Muncy, and other sellers. I had to wait about two months for mine from WWBW.

By the way, there is a Youtube video of a guy playing the Artista full Boehm model and the sound is amazing.
