Made by Buffet, but no model name or number, found in my Dad's case - its
at least 40 years old, but plays better than any other I've tried. I'm
not even sure what material it is.

The same one that came with my clarinet

VanDoren v12 #3 or Zonda #3. I'm thinking that both of these are too
thin/week for me now, so I'm going to try some 3.5s soon.

Again, its a really old one from my Dad's case. Its a normal looking
metal one, labeled "M Martin, France"

> Clarinet

Buffet S1. SN F223xxx (I believe that makes it 13 - 15 years old)
