Could someone please explain to me how to enter the serial number on the Buffet website to determine the date of manufacture of a Buffet Clarinet? I found the list, but can't find the place to input the serial #. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who responded. I was able to establish that my clarinet was manufactured on St. Patrick's Day, 1986. This will be the clarinet I will play in the outdoor concerts, and my "take anywhere" horn. Only had it a day, and am already attached!

I wish, but I don't think they "The Greenlines" were made yet! I think it's a regular B-12 Crampton. Glad to have it, didn't know a plastic clarinet could produce such a nice tone.
I put my B45 mouthpiece on it, it plays well with it. Put the B44 that came with it on my Selmer Series 9, I think it still plays flat. Did the research, looks like the B44 has a smaller tip opening than the B45, so maybe I'll see some improvement, also using 2.5 Vandoren reeds. If not, I'll probably get the 5RV Lyre that was recommended for "playing flat."

That doesn't work properly on the Buffet website. It gives me two years (1995 and 1972) when I enter my serial number in for a clarinet I have.
