Buffet Crampon R13 Clarinet Serial Numbers Chart

This is an vintage professional Buffet clarinet. The prior owner has left this mortal coil and it is now up for sale. If I read the charts correctly, serial number F72750 puts the year of manufacture at 1962. While the “F” in the serial number may mean it was made for the European market, it plays well in tune (A=440). This is possibly inaccurate, but you can also try the serial number list on the Buffet-Crampon website under 'Instruments' and clarinet.
