Subj: Re: [kl] vintage Buffet "A" clarinet
Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2003 13:13:33 -0500

Hi Sue,
I too just acquired an old "A" Buffet. Mine has the
rollers on the
pinkies.
Mine was made in 1913. Someone passed on this URL that
I found very
useful. If you have the serial number of your Buffet,
you can look up the
year it was manufactured in.

I hope that helps a little..

acquired an old "A" clarinet in superb condition-no
cracks,in great mechanical shape....just needs new

thay started putting serial numbers onthem....I am
thinking it is probably pre-1920...Any info you can
pass on to me would be greatly appreciated!Thanks,Sue
