Re: How old is my Buffett A clarinet?

I can't confirm this, but I've heard that Buffet would sometimes mark an "A" or a "1" after the serial number is there was accidentally a duplicate. Given how confusing the serial numbers were at this time and given how many instruments they made over the years no doubt there are quite a few of these duplicate serial number horns floating around. Given this I think the 1902 date is a pretty safe guess.

Pictures would help confirm this though. You need to open the pictures in some app like Paint 3D if you have windows and scale them down until the file is under 2mb. If using a phone just take a picture from slightly further away and crop it down. That usually works for me.
