Good Points
Deep, dark sound. Especially beautiful low notes. Sweet, mellow sound in the middle register. Nice bright sound in the high register. Useful E flat/G sharp key. Silver plated. Select grenadilla.
Bad Points
It takes time to get used to the instrument.
General Comments
Overall, the Festival creates a round, sweet sound. It is a great choice for any professional. Second only to the Tosca. I definitely recommend the Buffet-Crampon Festival.
