1966 Buffet R13 Soprano Clarinet
Another R13. Well, you can't complain about having worked on too many R13s. They're made well, they play well, they're beautiful, and they have sustained a glowing reputation for decades for all those reasons and more. I've been using synthetic felt as my main adjustment material on clarinets lately because it is so quiet. I layer it with cork. It takes a lot longer since you can't conveniently sand synthetic felt like you do cork to fine tune key heights and other regulations, but the finished result is far superior. And the layered cork/felt looks really nice.
