First, I'd like to apologize for the short subject. They didn't give me much room. I asked a LONG time ago how much my buffet clarinet was worth and what kind it was. The serial number began with a K and couldn't find it on any of the lists. I asked my music teacher at my new college (Dr. Michael Caputo) who is a professional clarinest, and he gave me the lowdown. Here it is for anyone that has been wondering. . . .
A while ago (he didn't say the year, but I assume before the 70's or so), France was making some buffet clarinets. They stamped "Evette Schaefer Paris" or something to that effect on it (I'm too lazy to go get my clarinet and look). Here's what that clarinet was. . .
That clarinet was supposed to be the new Buffet R-13. The highest end professional model Buffet if I'm correct. Well, this clarinet was just shy of what buffet had wanted for their professional model, so Buffet said, "Ah . . . make it a student model." Therefore, this clarinet is like the best student model made. Or at least Dr. Caputo says so. And I trust him. So I'm pretty happy to have this clarinet. And now anyone who was wondering what the "K" means, that is probably it. The "K" combined with Evette Schaefer.
Goodbye all. I'm on the way to finding an affordable clarinet teacher for private lessons. I live in NJ in Wayne. If anyone knows one, lemme know so I can get better. Thanks.
