Don -

The Buffet Elite was a high end clarinet built by Buffet for about a 15 year period from the mid 1980's to 2002 (?).

It was a thin walled clarinet which had polycarbonate fiber body rings instead of traditional silver or nickle plated rings. The weight of the entire clarinet was said to be about 20% less than a traditional R13. There was also an E/F correction key, a resonance vent in the bell and pads with resonators. The keywork was silver with gold posts. See the attached photo ...GBK
