There has been some discussion of "vintage" clarinets. As I so far understand it, this term refers to clarinets (particularly Buffets) made between 1963-1969, and that these instruments are generally much more valuable than instruments older or newer than that.
I have three questions about such clarinets:
1. Why are these clarinets generally much more valuable than older or newer instruments?
I suppose that it is because Buffet had perfected its art, and at the same time, the quality of wood used in making such instruments is excellent.
2. Where can I get a reliable assessment of the true value of such instruments? (because I found out that vintage instruments are worth what a new R-13 costs today)
3. Does this term really refer to clarinets made during the period of 1963-1969?
