There was an E10. It was basically the same as an E11 but maybe with plastic barrel and bell, or maybe just a barrel or a bell (I don't remember, maybe someone else would know).

>> The best E&S (E-13) clarinets were quite playable and not especially plagued with intonation issues. The E-11 and E-12 were similar, but with less or no hand work and not, from at least the 1970s, made of wood. <<

Maybe I misunderstood something from the way you phrased it, but the E11 and E12 were always made of wood.
They were also quite different from the E13 (at least after the Evette days). The E13 is/was made in France. The E11 was made in Germany by Schreiber for Buffet (except that later awful E11 France model).

I'm not sure about older versions of the E12, but the current E12F is basically the continuation of all of those (German E11 - French E11 - E12F) which is basically the same as the E11F but with the design defects fixed.

They brought back the E11, and it is again made in Germany, by what I imagine is formerly Schreiber (possibly Buffet bought them, not sure of the details). I guess it's mostly similar to the original German E11 but who knows what or if they changed anything.
