Recently on Ebay I bought cheaply a Couesnon clarinet hoping to get some exchangeable parts that I could use with my two Couesnons that I had already owned and restored. When it arrived only the plastic bell had the Couesnon logo. The lower body part had no logo or serial number. The upper part appeared to have had the logo removed chemically or sanded. It isn't readable but it might be Evette written straight across inside a typical Buffet oval. Under that is a very clear FESTIVAL and a serial number E02072.
My question is are there Evette Festivals? Is it a Buffet?

Other companies made Festival models, like Pruefer.

If the upper joint has a metal sleeve in the bore, it's a Pruefer Festival.

What parts are you looking for? I have a Couesnon gathering dust, but it is very sharp throughout.
