Its likely that production of Adolphe Sax instruments ceased at the onset of WWII sometime after May of 1940.Any Adolphe Sax instrument sold after this date was most likely already made or assemble from pre-existing parts.For example, the record shows that all of the recorded Adolphe Sax instrument sales between 1940-1941 were from instruments already manufactued between 1931-36.

It has 5028 and Paris stamped on it Is this really from the 1930s or could it be the more desired R-13 Any help with its era or value would be appreciated.

They were made by Buffet, and are essentially analogous to whatever Buffets mainline pro model was. Some, however, consider the Evettes a step below corresponding Buffet models. Though I have no evidence to substantiate this, a popular opinion is that Buffets that didnt pass quality control were marked Evette. If you check out stores that specialize in these clarinets, such as Wichita Band Instrument company, youll find that R13s and the like from the same era fetch 1500 to 2000 completely overhauled. Yours might be worth 1300 overhauled and maybe 400-500 less as is. Its a good value for the buyer, and it will be a fine player, no matter what people say about it. Bad quality control in the 50s probably outshines good quality control today, IMO, and with a proper repad from a clarinet specialist, this horn could have a lot of character.

The modern Vintage series by Buffet was the companys attempt to replicate the bore of the pre-R13. It has some intonation problems that the R13 doesnt have, but the sound is quite different, and attractive to some players. Yes this instrument would be very desirable to some people, but if its blown out, then its pretty much useless. What do you mean by blown out and how could I tell Any idea of the value.ballpark Continue this thread level 1 1 point 8 years ago Hey dude, what mouthpiece is it that comes with that clarinet level 2 Original Poster 1 point 8 years ago Just looks like a black plastic one.
