Around the beginning of 1955, in the high 47XXX serial number range, Buffet switched to the R-13. From 1928 through 1954, the instrument had no particular designation (although there were various catalog numbers in the form 'R' followed by a number, with the number representing the presence of various extra keys). I have several instruments with 4-digit serial numbers, so the number of digits is not determinative. Buffet Crampon R13ДЄs you can see from the serial number list, in 1928, Buffet switched from letters and numbers to numbers-only, beginning at 1. Thus, your instrument 126371 is an R-13, from early 1972. Bob Draznik Re: Help identifying Buffet model Author: Date: 21:53 The only stamps are the Buffet logo and serial number - must be an R-13! Thanks for your help and quick responses! Re: Help identifying Buffet model Author: в…2017 Date: 21:55 If a Buffet has no model marking, it is an R-13. Re: Help identifying Buffet model Author: Date: 21:48 E11 should also have 'Germany' and other words engraved on it. For example, a E11 should have 'E11' stamped. Is this correct? Is there anything on the clarinet to indicate its model? Re: Help identifying Buffet model Author: Date: 21:38 I believe that the R13 is the only Buffet clarinet that does not have its model number stamped onto the top joint. The reference here (seems to indicate that a 5-digit serial is the E model while a 6-digit is the R model. The date range seems correct to me, given the wear on the keys and the fading of the serial number and logo stamps. Running the number at buffet's website yields an R-13 dated 1972 or an E-11 dated 1974. It's made of wood, I assume grenadilla, and has the serial number 126371.

I can't find anything that describes the difference between an E-11 and R-13 and I'm fairly certain it's one of the two. ||||||| Help identifying Buffet model Author: Date: 21:16 Hi I have an older Buffet clarinet and need help identifying its model.

The instrument tested here is as good as many professional model Buffet R-13s, although I know not all Evette-Schaeffers are this good. But in a band situation, a more advanced student will probably appreciate having a shorter barrel.

There is such tiny flatness in the throat tones that just playing softer and lipping will bring them into perfect tune. High register Barrel 65.09 pushed in all the way.

If you come across an 'F' preceding the serial number of an R13, this indicates that the instrument has been built to an A442 - A444 and is intended for use by European ensembles. Jean Louis Buffet was already making musical instruments as early as the 1840's. (This came in a black case with large ribbing on the edges and rounded corners.). Below the logo are small letters that say Modele Buffet Crampon. The instrument I tested here is Serial K25559, approximate date of making 1967-1971. This is a MUCH better instrument than the plain Evette shown on another page. The key work and springs (sharp!) are identical. The wood seems to be of identical quality as the top Buffets. Some have thought that apprentices or less experienced craftsmen were running the tools and assembling the instruments. It has been supposed that the same Buffet bore tools were used as the R-13. I have sometimes noticed little fit and finish problems with the brand. The Evette & Schaeffer instruments from the period starting around 1950 to perhaps as late as 1981 were virtually as good as the Buffet R-13.

The prior owner has left this mortal coil and it is now up for sale. This is an vintage professional Buffet clarinet. The two left pinkie keys are pin in hole style, exactly the same as Buffet R-13s.
