Re: 1889 Buffet A Clarinet

The serial number is D-149.
I could only find a serial number at the lower end of the bottom joint, unlike where modern serial numbers always are on the top and bottom joints.

Also, I don't know if this matters, but the wood grain of each piece seem consistent with one another, which makes me think the entire instrument is fully original.

The barrel that came with it is a 65mm. I tried using a Backun 65mm ringless on it, but it didn't go well. Bore and socket dimensions are very different.
As for now, I'll take the next couple of days trying to map out the tuning and get back to everyone.

Thank you for the prompt responses!
