Question:

Clarinet players. What is your favorite clarinet ? Pros and cons of various instruments?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I play a Buffet R-13 and I love it. It's a professional, well-made instrument. Not cheap, but not hard to get either. I prefer the older models (mine is from the late 80s) and suggest that the Vintage R-13 might be a better pick now, unless they've gone back to making the R-13s in the older style.

I've played a handful of other clarinets, but I think that the Buffet has the darkest and loveliest sound of them all.
