The "bad bore" clarinets that Jack Kissinger mentions as R-13s with Academy Model added to the logo are serial 39000 to 41000 as indicated by Alvin Swiney from information from Hans Moennig. It's possible that there are some R-13s without the Academy Model addition within these numbers, so any Model within these serial numbers could be a poor one and probably is not going to be a great instrument. Be careful that we don't let this use of the Academy Model designation taint later Academy Model Buffets which might be excellent instruments. I have one with a serial of 488XX which is an excellent clarinet and whose bore is identical to the current Buffet Vintage model. This clarinet dates to 1955 and seems to point to this time as the beginning of the R-13 polycylindrical bore Buffet.
