IMO Buffet R-13 Vintage does not resemble Vintage R-13 design at all. It's modernized R-13 design and it shouldn't be called "reissue or reintroduction of the vintage R-13"."
--------------------------
Perhaps you can correct the proper serial number range for the early 60's. Buffet took their serial number data base down from their website and I was going from memory. Thanks.
I do understand the point about it being a modernized version of the original though. That's why I tried to nuance my phrasing about the propensity for the French company to "make it their own" version of the prototype we worked on.
*ON EDIT*: For this reason, Guy and I have taken no responsibility, nor could we, for the final product.
In my original post, diplomacy seemed to be in order.
Not to have given the wrong impression in my first post, but the inverted taper "real" Buffet/Chadash barrels do indeed go very nicely, as they were designed to do, with this clarinet as well as all other Buffet soprano clarinets. (Discliamer: I sell Buffet/Chadash personally hand-selected barrels that are matched with my mouthpieces and am a Buffet performing artist/adviser.)
