Indeed!.... I can't see any listings in the Clarinetperfection data that might correspond to an Alto older than 1964.

While the records to allow the accurate dating of older instruments are often seemingly lost...Aaarg! it's worth bearing in mind why manufacturers print serial numbers in the first place. For the owner it's good in case the instrument gets lost or stolen, but for the manufacturer it's all about the reasonably time period in which they concede to responsibility under guarantees or in providing spare parts and related services .As that time period expires, being practical people, these records get dumped in a damp basement or stuck in the shredder. They are, after all, manufacturers, not antiques dealers.

That said Jaynse, I suspect that you're the kind of person that will find the answer to your question if you are determined to( and if anybody can that is ).
