Buffet Clarinet identification .Model designation<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSCF0316\"<\/p>\n

n\ufffd1 indicates polycylindrical bore
\nAm\ufffdrique appears to be the designation for an R13 made for American market<\/p>\n

It looks like that if there are no other codes, it is assumed to be a R13<\/p>\n

Decoding the letter and number sequence<\/p>\n

For a sequence such as BCxxyy(c)-d-e ……………<\/p>\n

BC = Buffet Crampon<\/p>\n

xx
\nThis specifies the key, with
\n11 = Bb (old code, SiB=Bb)
\n12 = A (old code, La=A)
\n15 = Eb (old code, MiB=Eb)
\n17 = F<\/p>\n

yy
\nThis specifies the model, with
\n02 = E13
\n12 = RC
\n31 = R13
\n83 = Prestige RC Bass to Eb
\n93 = Prestige RC Bass to low C
\n23 = Basset<\/p>\n

c
\nOptional code, meaning
\nG = greenline
\nL = Left hand Eb lever<\/p>\n

d
\nSpecifies key plating, where
\n02 = silver
\n05 = nickle<\/p>\n

e
\nSpecifies pitch
\n0 = 440
\n2 = 442
\n4 = 444<\/p>\n

So<\/p>\n

BC1131(L)-02-0 equals a Bb (11) R13 (31) with a LH Eb lever (L) with silver plated keys (02) tuned to 440 (0)<\/p>\n
