My parents purchased me this clarinet when I was a sophomore in high school. So.. Six years ago? They bought it off ebay. It came with a hard case (brown, Buffet Crampon logo, red, suede-ish interior), a soft case (protech), an unmarked, plasticy like mouth piece, a Roger Garrett mouth piece with a plastic luyben ligature, and the clarinet, obviously. When I got it, I seem to recall it having a very faded, but there, Buffet logo on the top joint. I don't remember if the bottom, bell, or barrel had one. (I know the logo, as my first clarinet was an evette, and the case has it). Now, six years later, the logo is missing.
I can't figure out what kind of clarinet it is, or if it is genuine. I know it is real wood; being in marching band, it was rough housed and was cracked from the cork on the top join, to just tone hole for the register key. The first time it was filled with resin, and the second time they put posts in it, I believe. (It was years ago and I can't remember) It is a beautiful clarinet and it has 'MADE IN GERMANY' imprinted at the top of the lower joint, along with the serial number 976851, and 976851 on the bottom of the upper joint.
I've scoured forums and websites, and nowhere can I find this serial number. I read that the serials for E11's aren't listen on the Buffet website, but either way, I tried searching it and found nothing. Can anyone help me? I just want to know if it's real.
