and let's not forget about this place to see all the current models, i have a buffet festival. This B-flat clarinet (top instrument), serial number 22457, was made by Buffet-Crampon & Cie. The E11 is free blowing with a high quality hand finish and strong heritage. During the '50's and '60's, and maybe later, Buffet outsourced production of some Evette Schaeffers, as well as some of the Evette, another student model. The clarinet professor at the school I attend says its much earlier than 1985, and when I did further research, I found a few sites that said from 1945-1957 all the serial … 5, RUE MAURICE BERTEAUX - 78711 MANTES-LA-VILLE - FRANCE. The Buffet website only really returns the serial numbers of R-13 and other professional clarinets. I have buffet that doesnt have a serial number that i can find.
