The Vintage
R13 is patterned after the famous R13's of the 1950s and utilizes many
elements not found on the modern horns. There are no metal tenon rings,
several tone hole placements have been adjusted to improve tuning, and
the bell is 1mm longer, producing a very fluid clarion register. This
instrument comes standard with an adjustable thumb rest, two barrels
(one conical / one cylindrical), and a beautiful calfskin double case
with plush interior.

and focused tone.

History
In 1996, during a tour of the US and Canada, Rene Lesieux, Buffet's
Research and Development Manager, fielded many requests from players
who wanted a clarinet with the same feel and sound quality of the 1950's
R13's. The result is the Vintage - a clarinet that has a great scale,
a fluid sound and better repsonse and sound emission.
