Re: Serial Number confusion

Dear Avumba,

What is the serial number of your instrument? I will do some research with this. The factory is closed until September for their summer break but I will contact them as soon as they come back. What is written under the Buffet Crampon logo on the upper joint? If you have just the logo and that the instrument was made after 1955, it is then a R13. You are right for the "F" in the serial number it is for instrument with an higher pitch A=442 and A=444. We have had few R13 made with a "F" front of the serial number. This was a mistake. The R13 is only made at A=440.

Is your clarinet nickel or silver plated?

Musically Yours,
