The Evette & Schaeffer instruments from the period starting around 1950 to perhaps as late as 1981 were virtually as good as the Buffet R-13. They were made by Buffet & Crampon.
I have sometimes noticed little fit and finish problems with the brand. It has been supposed that the same Buffet bore tools were used as the R-13.
Some have thought that apprentices or less experienced craftsmen were running the tools and assembling the instruments. The wood seems to be of identical quality as the top Buffets. The key work and springs (sharp!) are identical. This is a MUCH better instrument than the plain Evette shown on another page. The instrument I tested here is Serial K25559, approximate date of making 1967-1971.

Below the logo are small letters that say Modele Buffet Crampon. (This came in a black case with large ribbing on the edges and rounded corners.). High register Barrel 65.09 pushed in all the way. Pornoy mthpc. F 0 E +4 D +10 to +5 C 0 B +12 A +2 Middle of treble clef G +2 to 0 F 0 E 0 D 0 C 0 B 0 Throat tones Bflat -0 to -2 A -2 G -1 to -5 F -6 E -4 to -2 Chalemeau D 0 C 0 Bflat 0 A 0 G -5 F E Buffet R-13s are not better than this! There is such tiny flatness in the throat tones that just playing softer and lipping will bring them into perfect tune. But in a band situation, a more advanced student will probably appreciate having a shorter barrel.

The instrument tested here is as good as many professional model Buffet R-13s, although I know not all Evette-Schaeffers are this good. An old serial number chart from Buffet. This is courtesy of. Click to see in detail.
