Is anyone here an expert on determining a clarinet's age? The info.
page was interesting but mine doesn't quite fit the chart for a Buffet.
I bought my clarinet used in 1977. It is a Bufffet and the serial
number is faint but appears to be F69225. There is an "extra" ring key
giving an extra fingering for E flat/B flat. I know there's a name for
that key but as you can tell I am not an expert, even though I've
played clarinet for years and even taught a little in the past.
Thanks for any info. you might offer.
Vicky
