Re: Polishing bore of an R13

While doing research I came across this on Sherman Friedland's Clarinet Corner. Mr. Friedland wrote the following.
According to the great repairman Mr. Hans Moennig Buffet R13 clarinets produced from late 1956 through the late 1960's were made of better wood than the instruments being made today.The wood was cured longer and the bore was finished and sealed with a special French polishing technique which extended the instruments playing life and retarded wood cracks. These instruments can be identified by the flat spring under the C#-G# or left hand little finger key.
