Re: buffet b12 clarinet

i only see a serial number on one joint, and there is no simulated wood grain it looks like shiny plastic but i have seen wood intruments before that have been laquered where you dont see any wood grain at all, but i am betting it is actually plastic ( dont have it in my hands at the momet to look at it). so older models of B12 did have a fixed thumb rest so that puts me back into thinking it is a B12 with silver plated keys, abs plastic and a 1983 time frame but there are no model number or buffet crampon logos anywhere on it the only thing indicating it is a buffet is the case adn the W.Germany adn serial number ( which the w.germany and serial are etched in and in extremely tiny charachters LOL).

my only issue now is to try and figure out what it might be worth after i finish doing an overhaul and polish on it factoring in the wear on the plating from use but i wont know really how bad the plating actually is until i get it tore down and parts buffed LOL.
