All Buffet clarinets come stamped with the basic, round logo, so any other distinguishing marks can be used for identification. Beside the top of the register key should be a marking that Buffet uses to identify the model of the clarinet.

Examine the side of the upper body of the clarinet to find the long, thin key just above the only hole located on the back of the instrument.
