![]() The case is is typical American plastic of the era, looks like it came from the same factory which made the shells for the Polymoog, Micromoog and Multimoog, even the styling is similar!. The stock Mouthpiece is a Brilhart Special made from plastic like the horn, it isn`t in the least bit special by Brilhart standards but better than the B12`s stock piece. ![]() Very much in line with the Buffet B12, the body is better made than the buffet (heavier duty, B12s can crack from the bell pillar to the tenon) and I think it sounds more open than a similar aged B12 but the keywork although tough as boots and very playable isn`t as refined as the buffet`s legendary action. Well for anyone interested, the Aristo arrived - a 70s (selmer era) plastic one, probably the same as a Bundy 'Resonite'. I`ve Googled and not found a lot of info or opinion, ought to be interesting as a fixer-upper anyway. I`ve got one from the ubiquitous Pawn shop coming for the kind of money which would barely get you a half decent plastic descant recorder, judging by the pics of the case, it looks 70s and the horn is probably hard rubber or plastic rather than wood like the early ones. I`m sure like the Saxes, the clarinets vary on where they`re made and how well depending on age / Selmer takeover / whether they`re the same as the bundy models etc but are the Clarinets any good?. ![]()
