I need some help in identifying a buffet clarinet e13:
The owner advertises it as E13 and says that the serial number is k122268
and it has B650 on the barrel and E13B stamp on the bell.
I have looked on the buffet site but i haven't come up with anything.
Do you know how to identify it...?

If it has E13 stamped on the top joint and all the joints are stamped with the Buffet logo which says 'Made in France' directly below it, then it is an E13.
The B650 on the barrel means it's a Bb barrel which is 65.0mm in length and the E13B on the bell denotes it's for an E13 Bb clarinet, so that would also further reinforce the fact it is an E13.

According to the serial number look-up on the Buffet website, The clarinet is an E13 clarinet made in 1999 pitched at A=442. (BC 1102L). This is consistent with a 65 mm barrel.
Best regards,

You may want to get a 66mm barrel (B660) for it to help bring the pitch down.
