 Can't Find Type of Clarinet
Author: tsullivan17

I have recently decided that it is time to retire my first clarinet. I've had it for around 6-7 years. This being said any paperwork I had when I originally bought it has been lost or thrown away.

When it was new it had the Buffet Crampon logo stamped on it, but now it's been rubbed off. It came with a NEMC mouthpiece, both the top and bottom portions of the body have the serial number 1111389. The bottom piece also has made in Germany. I'm almost positive it's made of wood, the thumb rest is movable, and there are no other markings.
Help?

It's most likely an E11 as the logos were printed on them.

The wood is lacquered with thick black lacquer to make all the joints look uniform and they have plastic tonehole chimneys, but you can see the natural wood colour if you look at the other toneholes, the tenons and sockets which aren't lacquered.

The opinions I express are my own.
