Re: When was my Buescher Aristocrat Clarinet made?

Author: Ursa  Date:   2021-01-09 11:34 The Aristocrat clarinet didn't exist before Selmer USA acquired Buescher in 1963. Buescher serial numbers were at 380,000 by then. What probably happened is that the first or last digit of the serial number didn't get inscribed or was done so faintly that it cannot be seen now. If the serial number is actually in the 720,000 range, that would date your clarinet to around 1979. These are very decent clarinets and are Selmer USA Bundy models, upgraded with inline trill keys and nicer socket rings. The wooden Aristocrats are not nearly as common as the plastic ones. Your aunt gave you a nice gift
