Re: "0" stamped into my Buffet A Clarinet

Kal opperman my old teacher at hartt would stamp 0 on Clarinets that he selected at carl Fisher and worked on .
He would not do this with clarinet that were brought to him that he personally did not select

Now we have a problem .the only people I know who have an original kalman opperman clarinet that is stamped with an o is ken legacy, allan Francis and the late. Ken shaw

I know for a fact that kal stopped this practice of stamping a clarinet with an o because it was cloned by many people out there .....his stamp was a special 0.....
He also stamped bbls that he reworked from New stock.....I had one and the 0 did not look like your stamp
UnFortunately for you from the ones that I have seen that were positively from kal... yours does not have that special 0. so all I can say is that someone cloned it at some point with a stamp and put it out in the market 40 years ago or more
