Hi there. I've just been given a vintage Bb clarinet and I'm teaching myself to play. I play guitar and I have a handmade electric one from the 70s which I did some successful research on through the serial number (I found the day it was made!). I wondered if a similar thing would be possible with the clarinet? I'd settle for the year or even decade, to be honest.
It is a Besson and it feels like it is made from Bakelite? There are various numbers on it but the serial number under the Made in England stamp just above the thumb rest is 52515. Is this the main serial number? There is also one on the other section which reads 144492. Can anybody date this? Looks like the original leather case too.
