Hello everybody, first time posting on this site, some great info in here!
I want to ask you guys a question regarding this clarinet that I am looking at online. It's a Evette clarinet by Buffet, made in France, with a serial number in the 12xxx range and wooden, with no K or D in front of the serial. I've only heard of Evettes/E&Ss with serials in that range with Ks or Ds in front, so can someone enlighten me on what we have here?
Thank you so much!

Hi windflare, welcome to our friendly BBoard, I have a very similar [later?] Evette, with ser # 183xx, which I bot "for a song" because of a damaged lowest tenon. With some tweaking, it plays as well as any Buffet R13 I've had the opportunity to blow, in my limited Buff experience. Out of curiousity, I measured the U J bores, top 14.9 mm, lower 14.8, so jumping to conclusions, it may be a polycylindrical. I'll appreciate any thots here. With a 66mm barrel and a glass mp, it seemed to be a bit flat playing along with Bernstein's CD of Beeth's 6th on classical FM [does/did he tune to 442 ?]. I'll take a look for your EV "online" . Luck, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Windflare,
Sounds like a "Sponsored by Buffet" Evette which I think is also what Don has....I believe these were made FOR Buffet at another factory....there is both a wood version and a hard rubber version. They really aren't as nice as the D and K Evettes (my opinion) but might be ok for a beginner horn IF in good shape and regulated properly!
