Buffet R13

One of my students purchased the R13 from a reputable catalogue company. She only uses it at home and for performances. She uses her old clarinet for band. She is very careful with it. Within 6 months the screw on her low C# key popped out. I brought it in to my repair man, who found many things wrong with it. Four pads needed replacing, and he ended up doing some re-threading on a few of the screws. He said that the lengths of the threads were shorter than he'd ever seen on an R13. We were just speculating on the reason for this. Any other R13 stories out there, specifically the newer instruments? S.
