 Re: Leblanc Basset Horn Age/Serial Numbers

Hi All,

Here are the conclusions reached based on the inputs I've received regarding the relationship between BH age and serial numbers:

1. There doesn't appear to be a direct relationship between bass clarinet age, serial numbers, emblems or mechanisms and those of bassets.

2. We have been given definite purchase years and serial numbers of basset by John25 and eefer guy that span the years 1961 and 1988.

3. Absent further hard evidence, it seems reasonable to guess that about the same number of bassets per year were sold during that time and that on average the same number were made, albeit possibly in builds that could have been years apart. Therefore, a best guess is that serial numbers vs. years placed in service should follow an approximately straight line between 1961 and 1988. (It can be demonstrated from the serial number logs that that assumption is true of bass clarinets.)

4. The fact that the serial number provided in an earlier thread by larryb would result in an impossibly early date indicates that there's a limit to how much we can extrapolate to years earlier than 1961.

The bottom line is that the best-guess date placed in service for Leblanc basset horns sold between 1961 and 1988 is given by the following:

In service date = 1961 + 0.0071 * (s/n - 5575)

Example: My s/n is 8059, which yields a date of 1978.6, or approx. 1979.

Best regards,
Jim
