You have to look up the serial number.

> I just bought an old clarinet, it needs work regarding pads, keys, etc,
but has no cracks. It's marked Buffet Crampon, made in Paris, but also says
Carl Fischer, New York. The register key is the wrap around type. There is
no serial number marked anywhere, and it is marked LP (low pitch, I assume).
Is there any good way to tell how old it might be?
