If you find an “F” before the serial number of an R13, this tells us that the clarinet was built to an A442 – A444 and is designed for use by European ensembles. If you find a letter immediately followed by a number, such as E11 or R13, stamped beneath the Buffet logo, this will be the model of the clarinet. If these two keys have been fused on a single joint, then it is not a Buffet Crampon R13 clarinet. You can also search near the “A” and “Ab” keys by the top of your clarinet. If your number is higher than 50,000, more than likely it is an R13. Check the serial number, located with a tiny stamp on the back of your clarinet’s barrel or on the case.

If your clarinet is wood-bodied with the same “EVETTE” stamped in the middle of the Buffet Crampon emblem, then you are holding a B12 model, if it is a plastic bodied clarinet than you have an E11.

If you find “EVETTE” stamped in the middle of the Buffet Crampon emblem, then you have one of Buffet Crampon‘s student or intermediate grade clarinets pre 1983.
