Can anyone give me some more info about the older Buffet clarinets? I recently received from a friend two pieces of a B flat clarinet. Here's what I know so far.

This is in the oval:

Buffet
Crampion & Cie
A Paris

Above the Buffet Oval is a "B" and underneath that is a huge "U" symbol
then it has the oval stuff

Then underneath the oval is what looks to be huge cursive "B" and under that is what looks like Brevette or Prevett and under that are some initals possibly GOVD O (not sure) and then under all that is an "H"

The serial number on the bottom section is 714L. All the serial number lists I've seen show that series as 1898.

I kind of assumed it was a Evette but after seeing picture of the other Evettes with it in the oval. I'm thinking mine is not an Evette.

It does have the register key that curves around to the top of the first piece. Which I've seen in pictures of older instruments.

I'll try to send an attachment.

I'm in need of a older barrel and bell to match these two pieces. Plus some help on where to get a pad for the "doughnut key".

Thanks,
LeePal
