Re: Help! What is my clarinet!

The logos were printed onto these clarinets so they wore off easily. The wood is painted to make it look uniformly black instead of the natural grain showing (but you can see the natural colour of the wood where the toneholes have been cut) and the finger chimneys are all plastic inserts.

They used to list the serial numbers on the old B&H or 'The Music Group' site, but that site went down a long time ago.

With the 'Made in Germany' stamp and the 6 figure serial number, I'm 100% certain you've got a Buffet E11 there. They are essentially the same clarinet as the older Evette as they too were made by Schreiber for Buffet and the wooden Evettes later became the Buffet E11 in the mid '80s (the plastic Evette became the B12).
