I have an Evette clarinet , and I can't figure out what model it is. On the mouthpeice, it says "FRANCE" and "N4". On the first section, it says "Evette" inside of a logo. Right above the thumb rest, it says "esl- Germany" and below it it has 66532. The bell has that logo on it. It came in a rounded rectangular case, with two locks, and a blue interior. I can't find any info about it, and I would love to know more, as well as its value.
Thanks

Maybe the 52 listings for Evette on ebay will be helpful. The Master model was very similar to the R13, according to Lee Gibson.

I'm venturing a guess that your mouthpiece might be a Vito (does it have a brand name on it)? I say that because Vitos have the N + a number designation on them (other brands may, but I don't know of any).
The upper joint will tell you what kind of clarinet you have. If the logos on the key joints, barrel, and bell match (and the serial numbers on the joints match), then all the parts come from the same clarinet. It will be worth more that way, as opposed to mixed pieces from different brands/models. Does it play? Is it in tune with itself? One of the best clarinets I had before I got my set of Buffet R13s was an Evette Master Model.
Compare what you have to similar instruments listed. If any of them happen to have their year of manufacture, you can interpolate when yours was made. I bet it's not worth what a pro instrument is worth, but it may not be far behind if it's a more advanced model.
Good luck in your search!
