I realized how important it is to get a matching clarinet. My school loaned me a Buffet A clarinet. I'm not sure exactly about the model but it's serial number is 74268 and it looks like a very old clarinet. However, it's a really nice clarinet. Even scale, very dark, mellow, A clarinety sound. Only problem I can find is that the tuning is very off.
Oddly enough, I found this clarinet to rival my CSVR. It offered the same responsiveness with the leather pads and sounded more mellow and soft. My CSVR was more resistant but projected better and sounded more "bright" and lively.
Maybe this is why so many people are so dedicated to Buffet "golden era" clarinets? I don't know too much about my A clarinet's manufacturer date or model but from what I can tell, if it can play that well, I'm very pleased! The CSVR I picked out was actually the more free blowing, responsive than all the other new Bb R13s which leads me to believe that is why there is so much back lash among the new Buffet.
