Re: Evette & Schaeffer Buffet-Crampon SN B428

E&S was a student model with Buffet-Crampon name on it. A few months ago I bought one for $60, re-padded it, changed all the corks including tenon corks, and when I tried it, it sounded like a student level clarinet, no better than a good plastic one. And was not in tune either. I sold it off eBay, but had I known the end result, I would not have bought it in the first place.
Unless yours is a Master Model, which were supposedly R13 Buffets with cosmetic defects, it may not be worth investing any money into.
Or, you are lucky and yours is in tune and sounds better than a student level instrument.
