Thanks, all! Earliest I've found so far is 1887 at the NIMM. Thanks for that link! And Fuzzy, I've seen that article before excellent information. Important to remember that in the mid- to late 1800's, the Germans were mostly LP while France, England, AND the US were HP, given European manufacturers some incentive to differentiate their instruments, even if the exact frequency of "HP" and "LP" hadn't been standardized. TrueTone, I think Steve Sklar has a Buffet NB as well, and he doesn't know what it stands for either. The serial of the Musette is 214X (as written) and both pieces also have a 19C stamped elsewhere. No clue what the last is.
