Re: Buffet Equivalent of Selmer Privilege

Here's something to think about. Most clarinetists will try to find a pair of clarinets that are as close to one another as possible. But many composers write for the A clarinet when they want a distinct and darker sound compared to the Bb. Given this, shouldn't clarinetists try to find an A clarinet that is as distinct from our Bb clarinets as possible in order to highlight this difference?

In any case, I wouldn't worry about which model is closest to the Privilege. If you like your Bb Tradition and like the Privilege A then there is no reason not to use them together.

If that's not a satisfying answer, I would say the Tosca is much closer than the Tradition, but again don't worry about it too much.
