Re: Help me date a buffet E11 A

So after some more digging, I discovered a footnote in the buffet E11 spare parts list that says serial numbers 1,196,386 to 1,213,626 were from 2015, which is 17,240 produced in 2015! (well, serial numbers at least). If they actually made that many per year, that is remarkable, which is about 47 instruments per day on average! I know they make a lot of E11s, especially in Bb but that still amazes me if that is correct.

Assuming that number per year is valid, that puts this E11 A production around early 2009 or so, which makes sense given the visual appearances.

I also emailed Buffet to see if they could provide an actual production date, but no response yet. If I get one, I will post an update.
