Re: Buffet R13 'Limited Edition'

I have two buffet limited editions...they were purchase somewhere in the 70's from local music stores the year Buffet ditched their distribureship program to small insignificant stores....they both came with the large briefcase cases with "limited edition " tag inside....but the cases were black, not brown....I remember they cost $250 apiece.....I might be dumb but so dumb as to pass up a deal like this....also got an "anniversary " model same time same deal which was traded for an e flat which got traded in for a c clarinet (noblet) to play around with oboe music (no transposition) But I digressed...what I wanted to mention is that one of the models was an r13 with LTD stamped upper joint just below the logo....the other is an S1 with LTD stamped above the logo.....funny nobody has mentioned yet the LTD stamp on the clarinets.....seems it would not be a real limited edition unless it was stamped as so. they are both excellent ...they seem smoother and capable of greater expansion in volume when pushed compared to my friends R13s. I seem to remember looking into this LTD business years ago and was under the impression talking to a buffet rep that they were assembled in England but this is maybe just bogus
