Buffet Serial Numbers After 1997

The Woodwind.org Buffet serial number date list http://www.woodwind.org/clarinet/Equipment/HowOld/Buffet.html ends with 439774, made in 1997.

Steve Grover's list http://www.eatonrapidsjunkbarn.com/reference/serialnumbers/BuffetCrampon.htm gives the numbers up through 2003, which begins with 511633.

The Buffet site http://www.buffet-crampon.com/en/instruments.php goes up through 570040, made in January 2007.

I've gone through the Buffet site and found the following:
2004 begins with 525536
2005 begins with 538863
2006 begins with 554051
2007 begins with 568786

During that period, serial numbers increased by about 17,000 per year. Thus:

2008 begins with approximately 585800
2009 begins with approximately 602800
2010 begins with approximately 619800
2011 begins with approximately 636800
2012 begins with approximately 653800

There are irregularities in the Buffet lookup, with dates scrambled, but these numbers should be fairly close.

Happy researching.
