When exactly WAS Buffet's "golden era"?

Author: chadilia

I've been searching for a good vintage Buffet (R13 or equivalent) clarinet for a while and will probably be buying it online due to the much cheaper prices (of course, with the downside that I can't try it out first!).

I would like to purchase a clarinet manufactured during the so-called "golden era" (i.e. when the wood used was higher quality etc.) which I know is definitely BEFORE the 1980s... but does anyone know the EXACT dates for this supposed era? Is there really a cut-off date when the quality of wood took a plunge?

(Also, anyone have any success/horror stories with buying a clarinet off ebay?!)

Thanks a lot for any advice!
