 Re: Pre-1900 Eb Buffet Clarinet query

My fiance performs on period instruments for various groups in Europe and one of her many instruments is a Buffet E flat similar to that you describe (the "barrel-less" clarinets were very common in that time). Her E flat plays better in tune at A=440 than my R13, the disadvantage being that she can't play it at a high pitch (the main group she plays with tune at A=442, and then go sharp) as it's not possible to put a shorter barrel on... she currently has MY R13 in Paris with her, using a shorter barrel custom made by Maurice Reviol to enable her to "get up there".
There is no way of knowing- without play testing- if this one is as good as hers, but it's a possibility
