Re: Help Identifying Antique Clarinets

I'm not sure the wraparound Buffet is as early as 1920s. The throat A key has the adjusting screw on it, and I believe that only became standard around the mid-1930s. I think there was a period when wraparound and standard register keys coexisted. Something else that might discriminate is whether the LH lower joint lever keys are mounted on one pillar or two. Again, that was in transition in the 1930s, so double pillars and the A screw would definitely argue for 1935-ish or later.
