Scott,

The lower joint looks like an R13 to me. The case is a Buffet attache style case, probably for a professional model and probably from the 1970's. In the links below, I have included one to a 1970's style double attache case for professional Buffet clarinets. Note that it has the same general shape as yours.

Carol,

"Pochette" refers to the overall case design. The Buffet pochette is/was a streamlined case with a bell flare at one end. I think it was the standard case in the 50's, 60's and perhaps at least part of the 70's for the R13. That case, so common in the past, was black with blue lining. It sounds like what you have. I have had to replace the handles on a couple of these cases. You can get a good replacement for about $11.60 from Ferree's tools -- item T56 in their catalog.


I went looking on eBay for pictures but, to my surprise, I could not find any of the "traditional" pochette in completed auctions. (Guess I'm getting old -- the cases were all more recent.) There is an example in the current auctions, which you can find by searching eBay on "R13 clarinet" without the quotes and then looking through the list.

You can get an idea of the style from this much older version (note the old rope handles):

The alternative was/is an attache style case -- somewhat larger and more boxy in appearance. I think the attache case is now standard (and has been for apparently some time) for the R13, though pouchettes are still available.

Fairly recent attache-style case:

Modern double attache-style case:

Double attache case from the 70's:

Attache-style case, style used in the 50's and 60's:
