Dear Larry Ibisch and friends, My current collection of fingerings can be found at htpp://www.homepage.eircom.net/~daikoku and I can only hope that it will be...
Friends, I recently sent an order 2 weeks ago by airmail to Glotin for six reeds since their on-line ordering and fax did not work. But yesterday my cc was...
Hi Jim, Yes, I think that they have merged. I made an order from Neuranter about a year ago using their on-line e-shop and it did work, although the reeds...
Hi John, Many thanks for the information. You have confirmed what I suspected. Back in the '70's I taught music at Haileybury College, Herts and met a...
Hi Jim, I was at school in Scotland in the 60s and 70s and only came to live in London in 1983. I regret never having met Cecil James or Maurice Allard, but...

Would anyone know if the c# key mechanism for the left thumb on the newer Buffet bassoons could be added to a Buffet bassoon from the '70's? Sounds like a very...
Hey Jim, I don't think it should be too terribly difficult to install for an experienced technician, though it would require some modification of the existing...
Hola, buenas noches! To tell the truth, I have this key on my BC 6330 which I didn't have on my BC 5018. However, I have yet to discover a passage where it...
However, the really useful thing would be to add LH "W bis" to my even older (1920s?) Buffet. On my instrument it would have to come "below" the Creation Key,...

dear friends, -a few thoughts on this thread- firstly, no comment on the "new" alternate c#, with which i have no experience. i'll have to ask ludovic tissus...
My experience is similar to Chuck's. My new horn has an amazing low register and overall the instrument plays more evenly than my 80's vintage RC. The sound is...

Hola buenas, A few personal observations comparing my "standard" 5018 (selected by Allard in 1974) with my current "new version" 6330 (selected by Audin for...
Hola buenas, While surfing I noticed that Pro Reeds in Munich, Germany (www.proreeds.de) supplies reeds for various double reed instruments for various eras....
dear andy and friends, glad the pro reeds are working so far. gerry corey had some last spring and sent one to me. mine took a lot of work to get it going,...
Hi all, I've also tried Pro Reeds French reeds. The first couple that I got were fabulous, but the next batch I ordered were all made far too long and, as...
Hola, Interesting that neither of you mention which model of French reed you used. Bn1 and Bn2 are said by Pro Reeds to be more suited to the Selmer while Bn3...
andy, my pro reed may say bn3 on it- very faint. i thought i had heard neuranter bought glotin. both marks seem still to be produced. so a glotin reed is still...
Yes, I think mine were Bn3 too. I tried all three styles at first and that was the one that suited best, but for some reason the second time I ordered them...
Hi Antero, My new horn is serial number 6423 and it was manufactured in 2002. The L2 croissant key on my horn no longer has the extra vent key attached, so it...
Can anyone give me the lengths of Buffet bocal sizes (one-spot, two- spot, etc), as I have none to compare? My bocals (not by Buffet) are unmarked, except one...
Very approximate lengths using a bocal brush; two dot 31 mm, three dot 31.5 mm and four dot 32 mm, all are in the new L-shape. Interested to hear lengths given...
