 Lower joint with no serial number
Author: rgoldem

I recently had the opportunity to play a beautiful Buffet RC Prestige that is for sale. Sound is gorgeous, intonation is quite acceptable and has very minor mechanical issues. It seems that with a little bit of tweaking it will be a great instrument. Serial is 413368 which makes me believe that it was produced in the late nineties.

However, I noticed that the serial number is stamped only on the upper joint and there are no marks at all in the lower joint. Can anyone help me to interpret this information? Is it a mismatch or a regular procedure for Buffet clarinets of this period? What are the risks of having an instrument with no standard markings?

Thanks in advance.
