Re: Help identifying Buffet model Author: Date: 21:48 E11 should also have 'Germany' and other words engraved on it.VOL XXXV NO. For example, a E11 should have 'E11' stamped. Is this correct? Is there anything on the clarinet to indicate its model? Re: Help identifying Buffet model Author: Date: 21:38 I believe that the R13 is the only Buffet clarinet that does not have its model number stamped onto the top joint. The reference here (seems to indicate that a 5-digit serial is the E model while a 6-digit is the R model. The date range seems correct to me, given the wear on the keys and the fading of the serial number and logo stamps. Running the number at buffet's website yields an R-13 dated 1972 or an E-11 dated 1974. It's made of wood, I assume grenadilla, and has the serial number 126371. I can't find anything that describes the difference between an E-11 and R-13 and I'm fairly certain it's one of the two. ||||||| Help identifying Buffet model Author: Date: 21:16 Hi I have an older Buffet clarinet and need help identifying its model.
