Donald: you could argue, and ask just how accurate these measurement can be. I tried it multiple times, and it seemed that one can get numbers that are consistent to 1%, but certainly not to 0.1%. So I'd want to do some careful repeats if the focus was on the 1% top joint difference between RC and R13, for example. But the 8% difference between S1 and R13 on tonehole 5 is something you can see just with the naked eye.

There is also the usual caveat that this exercise is just one copy of each, and they may not be typical. I once saw a clarinet for sale that carried both the BC20 and S1 marks - it would be fascinating to know how that blew and what its measurements were. It did set me wondering whether Buffet really tried to make distinct models in the early days. The RC clearly is separate: it's a different length, and the "RC" gold letters are part of a single logo, made at a single time. But the BC20 and S1 labels look like they were stamped on late in the game. So is it possible that Buffet just made clarinets - but because different luthiers produced different products, they added stamps to ones that had particular tonal qualities? If so, there would never have been a specification for the BC20 or S1 - they would just be R13's that turned out a bit different from typical. 50 years ago, plenty of people in Buffet would have been able to give detailed information on this, but somehow it's all been forgotten.
