I did a search for a specific number on Buffet's serial number search, and next to the "Instrument" part it said "Mib". What instrument is this?

Paul,
(disclaimer...I didn't read the thread you're talking about!)
I see that those two bits of data line up, but how does it explain "SiB" meaning Bb? By that logic Sib would be G#, wouldn't it?
Or conversely, Bb being a whole step down from C, it would be Tab??
I know my solfeg is out of use, or what am I missing?

James, I'm not sure how you got to G#.
Do/C, Re/D, Mi/E, Fa/F, Sol/G, La/A, Si/B (I'm not including some German names which are different).
SiB - Si Bemol - B flat.

The original sol-fa names come from a Latin hymn, and use Ut for the tonic and Si for the leading note.
Ut has usually been replaced by Do because it sounds a lot nicer when sung. But the French still generally use Ut when referring to the note in speech or writing: "clarinette en Ut" is much commoner than "clarinette en Do."
Si was replaced by Ti ("a drink with jam and bread") in order that every note should start with a different letter, but this is pretty much limited to English-speaking countries: "clarinette en Sib", never "clarinette en Tib."

Just for fun, here in the US, you wouldn't write Sib to represent the flatted 7th degree of the scale in solfege, you'd write "Te" or "Ta."
If you raise a scale tone a half-step, you generally change the vowel to an "i" (e.g., "do" becomes "di"). To lower the tone, you change the vowel to an "a," "e," or "o," depending on the context (e.g., "la" becomes "le" or "lo"). This is movable-do solfege, by the way.

That's why I thought "Si" was meaning Sol# = G#. Good to know I haven't completely lost my mind!
