My Evette & Schaeffer is the K series and it does not resemble
my R-13 at all. All though it has the characteristic Buffet sound
it is not the R-13 sound. When I listen to it I know it's not an
R-13. Also, the bore size of the upper joint seems to be smaller
and the Bell is heavier. If, somehow, it is a disguised R-13, perhaps
it resembles, what is now called, the "Vintage".
