The keys are not plated as were most of the clarinets built before the 60's. It has a very broad and "boxie" looking bridge key. I believe it probably was made in early 50's and perhaps even earlier. I currrently have one that the key work does not resemble any I've seen before on an Evette and Schaeffer or Evette. I have worked on some very old Evette and Schaeffer clarinets that pre-date the 60's, but can not give you an exact age. If you're shopping, you might want to keep looking around for something with a "Lighter" tonal color (unless it's less than $100 and the pads are fresh). If you're selling it, the eBay listing is close to what they sell for out of my local repairman's shop. If you're refurbing this, it could be a good player but will not be terribly valuable. I found the Evette Modele to be a reliable, easy to blow horn that was more than a little stodgy below G (no undercutting, I suppose).

The Master Model is a different animal altogether, although inconsistently great, it is consistently a very good horn. (I currently have a Thibouville that has keys remarkably similar to my first Evette.) I believe there were production units in several areas, stencilling the horns as they were sold, so afixing the actual maker could prove difficult. The Evette Modele you are discussing was probably made in France. I've owned severlal different versions of this, and am not an expert.Īpparently, the Evette line was incorporated as the step up horn for Buffet in the late 60's (the more erudite will pin down the actual date) and might be considereed the forerunner of the E-11 or E-13.Īs I understand it, the E-13 is now made by Schreiber and Sohne, a noted German maker of Bassoons and other woodwinds.
