Speaking as a Buffet owner, (I love my 1969 R13 Bb, and my Newer R13 Eb) if you're going for a NEW clarinet - on a restricted budget - I second the Ridenour Clarinet idea. If you can go for a great quality used instrument, go Buffet with an R13. None of the Buffet secondary lines can hold a shadow to a good R13, or the Ridenour Libertas, for that matter.

Besides my Buffet R13s, I own a Ridenour Libertas, and a Ridenour C clarinet. They are absolute Quality instruments! I also have and play Selmer Series 10, 10G and Centered Tone clarinets, plus a wonderful vintage Leblanc Dynamic H clarinet.
