In regards to Evette & Shaeffer Master Model clarinets, out of France, you'll see those also for resale. I posted a inquiry on the B&H buffet forum about these and was informed that the older E&S master models (I was inquiring about a 1957 model) is "...essentially a lower-cost alternative to the Buffet R-13...". I have 2 E&S master models (1956 &1957) and have been very happy with the sound of both when compared to an R-13. But always have a used instrument checked out by a tech and make sure you have a "trial period" included in your purchase agreement so you have time to have the instrument checked out, you can try it and if you're satisfied with the instrument then you can return it.
