Hello, I am going to try to attach photos of my newly purchased Buffet B18, in hopes of finding out if it is a fake. The serial number is C004479, stamped only on the upper joint. B18 is also stamped on the upper joint. It is obviously made of plastic. Difficult to hit notes above high C, and the top two notes are impossible. Came in a Chinese-style soft case. No markings on the mouthpiece, although the ligature and metal mouthpiece cap look a lot like in one posting here of a real B12 compared to three fake B12 clarinets. At least it isn't stamped made in France! The blue and white pamphlet which came with it has a Beijing China address. The white box it came in did not have any country of origin marked on it, which could mean it was originally sold inside China. That makes sense, since Buffet tells me the B18 was never sold in the USA.
Can anyone say whether this is a fake Buffet?

Make sure the image is under 2mb, also more context would probably help.
Did you buy it from fffactoryshop on eBay? If so yes it is 100% fake.

I got it from a seller named gordypumpkinhead on ebay out of Orlando Florida. The listing was at: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235123409238
I will attach more pics under 2 MB each. Thanks for getting involved!
