I just noticed a Buffet C13 on Ebay. I thought it was a misprint (I had heard of C12 and R13) until I saw the photo. Does anyone have information on the C13?

I don't think a C12 existed (maybe), but the C13 does exist in N. America. It's known as the International model. Well, that's what Buffet calls it. So the C13 is the same as the International model, which is mid-range between the R13 and the E11. But I'm not sure why it was stamped as C13, not International. Maybe it's older, before Buffet changed the name to International. You can see the international in one of the other new Ebay postings. It's titled "Brand New Buffet Crampon Clarinet." Yup, that's all I know. Correct me if I'm wrong though! :o)

According to the local Buffet rep, the C-13 is the equivalent to an E-11. It's stamped C-13 because it was manufactured as a "private brand" for another company in the US...
