I have vintage Buffet clarinets in probably the original case and have retired and am trying to get some historical perspective and place a value on them for estate purposes. I purchased them from a family estate 15 years ago for $2000 through a local instrument restorer. The horns look new, have a rich full tone, play in tune, and the A clarinet has a wrap around octave key.
The A has a serial numbert of 1R63, placing its Paris origin in 1924. The Bb's number is 1130, placing it in 1928. The A bell has "Carl Fischer Inc, New-York" below the French logo.
How do you go about appraising these?
