Help..What Clarinet Do I have?

Author: Diegothe3rd

I was just recently given a Buffet Clarinet and it doesn't have any logos stamped or engraved on it. Its wooden and made in germany. The 2 rods on the lower joint by the right F key are side by side. The serial number is 933087. I'm thinking its an E11 but not positive. Could anyone help me out? Thanks!

E11 most likely. E11 logos are painted on and tend to wear off rather quickly.

pictures?

As Paul said it could be an E11. Since the E11s were made in germany (but so are other brands)

For some odd reason alot of people think their no brand name stamped clarinets are Buffets.

Pictures would help alot in the identification.

Hold it up to the monitor so we can see it... Seriously, photos would be a big help. And, without any markings, why do you believe that it's a Buffet? Cases and mouthpieces are interchangable with other brands, although there are some Buffets without real embossing on them; just printed markings that can wear off.
