I have an Evette-Schaeffer Master Model clarinet, but I am having difficulty finding information on it. It is marked with K5073, which appears to be the serial number, and the mouthpiece is marked B7 steel ebonite/the woodwind company. It belonged to my grandfather, but I never got the story of it before he passed. Any info would be greatly appreciated as Google has not been very helpful (except in finding this forum 😊).

Thank you...Now I have the production year. Do you happen to know what the E13 at the top of the list references?

Around 1980, Buffet changed the naming for their mid- and lower level clarinets. The wooden Evette became the E-11, and eventually there was an E-12, and E-12F. Plastic Evettes became B12's, and the Evette Schaeffer became the E-13. Those names are still in use today. There's more info in the link Hunter provided.
