Re: buffet academy clarinet bore

Do a search on on this bulletin board on Buffet Academy models and you'll find a lot of information. "Vitas" seems to be the expert on this question. The consensus seems to be that there were many R-13s that were labeled "Academy" because of cosmetic problems which did not affect the underlying quality of the instrument.

There were also, according to the posts, a series of Academy clarinets which do not fit this description, and had serious flaws. The serial number range is listed in the posts. As I recall, it's in the 48000 range.
