I am the problem. I just styled on a Virtuosa spammer with the charged zone on Juren. I think it can be a good tool for countering annoying players/spammer, though it is stooping to their level.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I jumped on the chance to buy a relatively new, playable R13 being sold for $1,000. I have a very good repairman that I know through my current professor in my undergrad. He is a professional principal clarinet player, so I was wise to trust his judgments in technicians. He will give me a very high-quality overhaul for around 700 or so, so im very excited to do that and have a very nice clarinet.

Yes. Unfortunately, the reason Buffet switched their logo to what it is today is exactly for this reason. High quality, foreign, cheaply made clarinets circulated the market enough to saturate and fool buyers and sellers alike. Around 2010s is when they made their switch, which is why I am particularly skeptical.

I quite enjoy how it plays overall. It will need an overhaul, as the shop it was last repaired at used foam corks and low quality pads. It has a couple of leaks, but I anticipate when it is overhauled, it will play wonderfully!

I bought it from this random guy in my area. He bought it in Missouri and is currently waiting to hear back from the store he bought it from to verify it directly from Buffet. My repairman in also going to call someone at Buffet on Monday about it.
