At the time...

    Is this Buffet Eefer as old as I think it is?

    So an auction I was watching ended, and I wasn't a bidder as I was in a wind quintet's concert listening to them. Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/162959998230 My thoughts are that this Buffet is from the 1850s, but I'm not fully convinced I'm right. It has what I understand was the Buffet logo...

  8. Is it safe to get a 1945 Buffet pre-R13 Eb soprano clarinet?

    I don't have much knowledge about Eb's but I'm looking to start playing. I found a refurbished 1945 pre-R13 Buffet for sale, but it's $945, so I want to be sure that it's worth it. Anyone who's played on this or a similar model: how's the tuning and tone? Is it risky to get such an old...

  10. Does this case cover fit my clarinet case?

    Last year for my birthday, my husband wanted to buy me a cover for my clarinet case.

There are very few pics of double case covers and none show the...

  12. Are vintage instruments practical for everyday use?

    I have a question I would like to ask the smart people here on WF. I'm buying a new clarinet- upgrading from a plastic Buescher model I've had since 6th grade to a Buffet R13, and while shopping around I've noticed that many Buffet clarinets labelled as 'vintage' or 'pre-R13' are much cheaper...
