Mike,
I'm guessing that your student's clarinet has no model designation under the Buffet logo on the upper joint? I'm also guessing that your student has a pretty good horn. "N� 1 Sib Am�rique" appears to be the designation Buffet was using at the time for an R13 made for the "American" market, (whatever countries they included in their definition of that market). It should tune at A=440, and, as you probably recognize, is keyed in Bb and was made October 10, 1969.
I have an R13, serial number 104xxx, that returns the same description, except that it was made about a year earlier.
If the serial number on the clarinet has a prefix (K?) or the instrument is marked E13 under the logo, then it is the other clarinet listed for the serial number you entered.
Best regards,
jnk
