Any idea of when this Eb Buffet-Crampon was built. Upper joint has florid B C logo below wrap-around register key. Bottom of lower joint has theBuffet-Crampon 'seal' or logo. Both joints marked HP. Serial number X360 appears on lower joint only; no serial # on upper.

Standard lookup places no nothing of "X" serial numbers.

X360 should be 1906 according to the serial number list here (on this site):

That would be consistent with a clarinet of this design.

Best regards,

"HP" = High Pitch.

This clarinet won't play @442HZ-440HZ modern pitch.

You're a mean one, Mrs. Grinch!

Is that the Albert System?

On a side note...
One of the Eb clarinets my college owns is a Buffet R13. It is odd, because it has absolutely no serial number... and no place where one would have been sanded off... any ideas or explanations??
