Re: Modern? Buffet R13 Identification & Advice

There’s not really a way to date newer instruments unfortunately. And Buffet rarely answers emails so it’s very unlikely to find it out from them. Based on the serial number it is probably quite recent, likely within the last 10 years. I wouldn’t worry too much about the age given this.

I would make sure it’s been repadded or at least serviced recently. The pads Buffet uses on their new instruments are not the best, many players will have them changed with cork, leather or synthetic pads.
