Hey Jess,

There's good news, and there's bad news.

First off, you bought a quality instrument at a fair price. With a complete overhaul, you will have invested about what the Master Model is worth.

If it is already playable, you're about $100 ahead.

The bad news;

The Buffet site lists K5077 as built in 1953, PRIOR to the development of the R13 with the Policylindrical bore and tone hole design.

So; while some Master Models were undeniably made in the same factory as the
R13 (presumably by the same staff), this clarinet predates the features mentioned.

All that being said, if the horn has no cracks and has the nickel-silver keys you have a potential winner on your hands.
