At the time your clarinet was made, Buffet had three levels of clarinet models. The top, of course, was the Buffet professional model; the middle, intermediate line, the Evette & Schaeffer, which is equivalent to the present Buffet
E-13 and the third line, the Evette,which was equivalent to the present E-11. The Master Model designation seemed to float around in the Buffet models, because it indicated a superior example of the E-13 Evette & Schaeffer at one point, was even used for the Buffet R-13 advertising and at a later point was used to designate a higher level of the Evette E-11. Just as a point of interest, the E-13 and E-11 designations were used by Buffet in their catalogs long before they changed all the models to use the Buffet name and logo. Please do note that there is a difference between an Evette & Schaeffer clarinet and an Evette clarinet, at the time about the same difference as between a wood Selmer Bundy and a wood Selmer Signet.
