I have a Buffet E&S clarinet with a B prefix.serial number B1074. I recently had it overhauled, and the technician told me that the Buffet company had the B prefix clarinets produced in Germany around the 1930's-40's (probably an experiment in cost cutting, so that's why they won't own up), which is a bit cheeky 'cause the bell of my instrument says, 'Made in France'. Regardless, they are up to standard with any Evette & Shaeffer clarinet out there, because the Germans have always made better instruments than the French anyway.(my opinion). Mine's going up for sale on ebay today. > Imagine that! I have tried 4 times to contact someone in regards to my clarinet.because I bought a BSpecialX model from Sam Ash, and things are already wearing off. They were wearing off a month after I got it.

I have never heard back from them and will never buy a buffet clarinet again (It's been 7 months now). My next clarinet is Rossi. They are more expensive, but well worth it. I would recommend them to anyone! ![]() Here's the skinny on these clarinets. They were made by Buffet, and are essentially analogous to whatever Buffets mainline pro model was. Some, however, consider the Evettes a step below corresponding Buffet models. Though I have no evidence to substantiate this, a popular opinion is that Buffets that didn't pass quality control were marked Evette.

It's a good value for the buyer, and it will be a fine player, no matter what people say about it. Bad quality control in the 50's probably outshines good quality control today, IMO, and with a proper repad from a clarinet specialist, this horn could have a lot of character. If you put the number in the search bar it gives a manufacture date of 30 April 1953. The modern Vintage series by Buffet was the company's attempt to replicate the bore of the pre-R13. 1953 almost immediately precedes the R13 era. I use a Vintage, and I quite like it. It has some intonation problems that the R13 doesn't have, but the sound is quite different, and attractive to some players. Sia smaart live 6 serial. Yes this instrument would be very desirable to some people, but if it's blown out, then it's pretty much useless. Unlike other instruments, clarinets that have been heavily played lose a lot of their resonant capabilities. I would describe the sound as 'dead' or 'flat' (not in pitch, but in depth and richness of sound). I don't know why clarinets lose their resonance, but I imagine it has something to do with the intense back pressure of the instrument. ![]() Record yourself playing the old clarinet and a new R13 and compare the quality of sound. If it's blown out, the old clarinet will have a sort of lifeless quality compared to the new clarinet. Using my powers of bullshitting, I can give some thoughts as to the value. Clarinets don't really increase in value as they age. If it's in good shape and still plays well, you could probably sell it for a pair of thousands or so.
