Sorry to resurrect this thread after 5 years, but any idea what matching serial number 965 would date a Louis clarinet to? "

I bought this Louis Bb clarinet on that auction site. It arrived today and is in excellent condition. The wood and keywork are in good order, the joints are good and all toneholes are sharp and unmarked. Intonation is very good throughout the range. For the price, 100 Pounds Sterling, it has to be the bargain of the year.
I recently looked at another Louis Bb in Sydney, but it was in a very sad state. Not much more than firewood and verdigris. The wood was dry and unrecoverable, with a crack in the upper joint. The seller wanted $A600 (400 Pounds Sterling, $US575).
