Buffet RC Bass clarinet questions

Author: cj123

Hi - I'm looking at possibly buying a Buffet bass RC Prestige clarinet for my clarinet mad daughter, and had a couple of questions (not being a clarinet player myself) and would appreciate some advice from someone knowledgeable.

1. Does it matter if an instrument is quite old - say 50 years? Or are new ones better?
2. Is there any way to tell the age of an instrument from its serial number?
3. Does the Buffet RC Prestige bass clarinet go to low C or low Eb?
4. Whats a rough idea of what I ought to expect to pay for such an instrument?

Thanks.
