 Re: Identifying An '80s R13 Or RC Prestige...

Right - I just had the chance to compare said Prestige clarinet with no badge against an R13 Prestige as one player has just bought one. All the other Buffet players have E13s and the rest of the clarinet section have B&H Imperial 926, B&H 1010, Peter Eaton Elite, Leblanc Sonata, Selmer Privilege and a Yamaha YCL-34II, so not much to compare it against.

This is what I saw - both of them have the cut-outs under the RH pinky keys as is the norm on pro Buffets.

The speaker key on the one without the badge is much longer, therefore the speaker vent is nearer to the top tenon. I forgot to check the length of the lower joint.

I overhauled a standard model RC back in November and that too had the cut-outs under the RH pinky keys.
