 Buffet clarinet models "S66" and "B18"
Author: Bron357

Hi all, I'm looking to buy my niece a student Buffet. The model I am familiar with is the "B12". Looking around on eBay (and elsewhere) I've seen these Buffet models S66 and B18 saying that they are new versions of the B12? One listing says the S66 model was for Australia with a black and purple case. Well, I'm in Australia and I've never seen a S66 for sale here. The B18 is apparently a European model? I've checked the Buffet website and can't find anything about these S66 models or the B18 models. I'm not wanting to buy a "non genuine" Buffet. So does anyone know if these models are real Buffets?

Never heard of those models - only the B10 and B12 here (UK) and the much older S1 which is a pro level Buffet.

Just checked the B18 and S66 on eBay which appear to be rebranded B12s.

Also worth noting, the B12 is being replaced with the 'Prodige':
