 Help identifying possible R13
Author: jessebgordon

I have come across an older Buffet clarinet and I was wondering if you guys could help me determine if it is an R13 or something else. The serial # is 177693. There are no other badges or marks on the horn other than the Buffet logo and from what I've been able to find, this most likely means that it's an R13.

Here are some pictures. I've done instrument repair for 4-5 years, so I'm in the midst of a repad.

No pics. Does it have a cut-out in the wood under the r/h pinky keys?

So this would be an R13 then, correct?

Is is most liikely an R13, dating to around the mid-1970s.
