I just dug out my metal clarinet. It appears to be silver plated. It bears the name "THE ELKHART" in a heart-shaped engraving on the bell. (I bought this at a flea market 15 years ago for $5) I checked the archives and found that someone else had a similar question, but did not yield any answers. The serial number is 22,xxx. Does anyone know how old this is? It's in excellent condition, except for some tarnish... it has no dents or deep abraisions...
Thanks for the help!!! -paul
"The Elkhart" was Buescher's student line for many years. (The Buescher factory was located in Elkhart, Indiana, where several other major manufacturers also had factories.) I don't know whether "Elkhart" serial numbers correspond to Buescher professional model serial numbers. The 22,xxx series of professional Buescher clarinets dates from between 1910 and 1915. However, many if not most manufacturers used a different serial number series within each brand name.
