David, I have seen the Prestige RC full Boehm in the newest Buffet
clarinet catalogue (written in english, french and german
language). If you want I can tell you the ref. number of the
clarinet. But I have to lock at home. Also, I don't know if this
clarinet is only available in Europe.

There are many Prestige RC models around: Eb, D, C, Bb/A (18/6), Bb/A
full Boehm and if I remember correct there is also a 19/7
variant. Most models are in two different pitch versions (440/442)
available. But now I remember that the full Boehm models are only 442
pitched, perhaps this is an indication that it is for the Europe
market only. But I don't know.

Hope, this helps.

Dirk
