Re: Evette Sponsored by Buffet

I have an Evette and Schaeffer Modele wood clarinet made in Paris. As you noted, it plays incredible good. Here is what Steve Sklar told me about my clarinet (I didn't send it to him so this is just a guess). It might provide a little insight in the provenance.

If throat Bb does not have an adjuster screw, it is probably an older model. OTOH, if the the lower spatula keys has double pivots, it is likely a newer model. Mine, has a slotted barrel key which indicates a non-Buffet made in Malerne, though a couple days ago I noticed a "Buffet" logo barely peeking through. Mine also has a an inscribed serial # that further suggests it was probably a Malerne made stencil clarinet sold by Buffet.
