hi
i recently purchased a used clarinet at a flea market, of all places. i saw the vendor had many different instruments, and he directed me to his "better" clarinets which were under the table, and of those i found an evette schaeffer master model clarinet. up until this point, i had never heard of an evette schaeffer clarinet because i started out on a plastic yahama clarinet, and then moved right to the buffet R13. so under the evette schaeffer stamp it says "buffet crampton model" or something similar to that, so the guy was trying to sell it as a buffet. well, i got him to come down a hundred dollars, so i ended up paying 200 for it. now, i have a clarinet i know nothing about. the serial number on it is K5077, and i was wondering if anybody could tell me how old it is. it is in excellent condition, besides the pads which need to be replaced. it doesn't look any more than 20 years old, and there are no cracks...but i'm probably wrong about the age, so i'd absolutely love some help from some knowledgable people. thanks!
