I have an Ernst Riedl clarinet pitched in concert C. It has only eleven keys and no rings. There is no serial number. Has anyone any idea how old it might be ?

Thank you, Mark. Useful information. The design of the clarinet seems much older, like something from the mid nineteen hundreds. I guess Ernst was a little behind the times.
