 B & H 10 10's
Author: john4256

I have a pair of B & H 10 10 Symphony Clarinets.

Is there any way I can find out their age from the serial numbers?

The B flat is 80405
and the A is 80347

Many thanks,

John

Hi John,

They're both from the early '50s going by this serial number list:

Yes from my lists they would date from 1952 or possibly early 1953.

Hi John,

I've just checked and my A 1010 is 80351 - only three away from yours!

Own up, anyone out there got 80348, 80349 or 80350?

I had a similar instance when someone brought a pair of Selmer Centered Tones in to a local music shop - his CT A clarinet was just two numbers away from mine.
