Hello
i have a B-Clarinet Arthur Uebel with Oehlersystem.
Serialnumber is 16524.
Does anybody knows, at which year the clarinet was built?
Look at pictures

As it's got a metal bell ring, I'm assuming it could be from the 1970s.
However old it is, it's been kept in really nice condition.
Does the new Uebel company even keep records of their older DDR-era Uebel serial numbers?

Does it say if it was made in West Germany or DDR (east Germany) ?

They'd have never had 'Made in West Germany' on them - either Germany (pre Iron Curtain), then DDR (when there was both an East and West Germany) and then Germany again after Reunification from the early '90s onwards.

The following information is given in http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=367329&t=355703
14924 is 1956; 17900 is 1963
So your instrument is 1959/60
Later on in the DDR days the instruments were redesigned, and the serial number became of the form 632-762119: model number, 2 digits of date [1976 in this example] and then an actual serial for that year. But for quite some time after WWII it seems they were still making them in the same way as the prewar models. According to the above link, this persisted untill the death of F.A. Uebel in 1963.
