I love buffet clarinets.
I have just acquired a very old Everett buffet clarinet.
no other markings but one serial number k1245.
could anyone please tell me year model etc of this clarinet ? comparable to today ? I have searched and searched online but can't find anything definitive. I have also emailed buffet but they haven't replied yet.
it is much harder to.blow and get a sound out of than my e11.
what could be causing that please ?
I am going to renovate it and change all the pads.
what else should I do please to help it play easier ?
the sound is lovely though.
any any other tips tricks as i have never renovated a clarinet before.
thank you in advance
cheers
