 Re: Tone of Backun basses vs Buffet

Slightly off topic, but the main reason most pros choose Buffet over Yamaha is because of how soft the key work is. The first (and thankfully last) time I worked on a 622 I was terrified of how easy it was to bend not just the keys but even the posts! I had to make significant modifications to the basset keys to get them to close properly. In many ways it was worse than some cheaper Chinese basses. On the plus side it did have good response and intonation. Yamaha does a fantastic job of setting up their instruments, but the alloys they use are just not suitable for a professional level bass clarinet IMHO.
