Hello everyone,
Recently I have bought a Buffet Crampon Prestige Bass Clarinet, but it is an older model. I am really in love with it, it is an amazing instrument, so first of all out of simple interest, but also for the insurance company, I would love to have some more information about my bass clarinet! Or in case I ever want to try out other parts, like a new neck from Blashaus or the Icon Line, it is quite important to know what kind of model I really have.
Sadly the serial number search engine on the website of Buffet Crampon is no longer there and I simply cannot find anything on my specific model.
So if anyone knows more about this and could provide me with a bit more insight, I would really love that!
A bit more about my bass clarinet:
My model doesn't have the groove in the wood on the lower joint, it is just smooth.
The low C valve/hole is on the wood of the lower joint, in contrast to the newer model, where the low C is placed on the metal on the bell. The bell has no holes whatsoever.
The valve on the neck, for the upper duodecime-key, is different to the newer model, so I can't put the neck of the newer model on it, sadly (I've tried...).
The serial number is 30217.
It does have 3 keys for the low D (left pinky, right pinky and thumb)
Thank you!
