 Help with Buffet Serial number

Greetings,

I hope you could help me gather more information about my A clarinet.
The serial number F64xxx.
It is a pre-R13, I think, an incredible instrument actually.

If you know of a chart that could locate that serial number and give more insight, that would be great.

Best,
Erez

This chart puts your clarinet's year of manufacturer as 1960. More knowledgeable folk than myself will know the questions to ask you that will assist with determining the model.

Since it was made in 1960, it is an R13. The F prefix indicates that it was made for the European market and should tune to A = 442. Most likely the only difference between it and an R13 made for the American market at that time is that its barrel is 1 mm shorter.

Best regards,
