The Buffet Evette clarinets are the forerunners of the Buffet B12 or E11 models as they were made in both plastic and grenadilla - which are both student model clarinets made by Schreiber for Buffet, either being pretty much the wood bodied version of the Buffet B12 though plastic bodied Evette clarinets were made as well and some were stamped B&H Regent II before becoming the B12. I've seen silver-plated wooden bodied versions stamped Hans Kreul (more famous for oboes though).

There were Evette & Schaeffer clarinets which were made in the Buffet factory, and these later became the E13 - the entry level French-built Buffet clarinet below their C12 model.

The mechanics are pretty robust on these older models, though the nickel plate can look good or bad depending on how well they were looked after.

None of the above have the milled out recesses underneath the RH F#/C# and E/B key touches and crow's foot as the pro model Buffets.

As for pricing they'll be around the same as the plastic bodied B12 or grenadilla bodied E11, or the Yamaha 26II and 34II models, depending if they're plastic or wood.
