Subj: Re: [kl] The History of The R-13 CLARINET
Date: Sun, 2 May 1999 09:31:25 -0400

Mr. Swiney,
I have a Buffet Academy Model. It's serial number is 75960. It was
purchased new in 1966. This numbering is not covered/included in your
information about the Academy Model. M. Kloc has stated that the Academy
models were R-13's with some surface blemish etc that wouldn't have any
effect on the playability. Comment? Do I have a "bad bore" clarinet? I
am inclined to accept M. Kloc's explanation instead.
