My first clarinet was an Evette & Schaeffer. Its serial munber is K12475.
I don't know its age. It is still in the original orange vinyl case with
the dark purple velvet lining and leather handle. I still have it and until
my recent acquisition of new instruments, I used it as my back-up clarinet.
It is every bit as good as my R-13's. The only reason I got R-13's was
because my brother wanted to play clarinet. So my parents bought me the R-13
and I gave the E&S to my brother to learn on. He doesn't play any more, so
he gave it to me to keep it in use. The label stamped on each section of
the instrument reads as follows:
Evette & Schaeffer
Paris
France
Modele Buffet-Crampon
The only difference between this clarinet and the R-13 (IMHO), is the label
stamped on the front of the instrument. Every teacher I ever had always
told me the same thing; hang on to that horn because you will never find
another student instrument like it. One of my teachers even borrowed it
once to use when his broke a spring. I will hang on to it for my
grandchildren to play.
