* Note: Vincent Bach used the trade names
of Stradivarius, Mercedes, Mercury, Minerva, & Apollo. For some
unknown reason, Bach numerical order varies from time to time.
For example, in 1928 the Apollo serial numbers were 8600 - 8700.
In 1939 the Mercury models had serial numbers in the 10,000's.
The first Minerva (#2722) was manufactured in 1958.

1980 are approximations. From 1983 onwards, you may calculate the date
of manufacture by adding 50 to the two digit prefix of the serial number.

BUFFET CRAMPON
|
|
The modern Buffet logo first appeared on Buffets approximately in
1844 |
|
|
Late 1800s |
No serial numbers
Wrap around register key
"teapot" tilted type register vent with no register vent protruding
into the bore
No throat adjustment screw
"H. Bettoney" is stamped on the Bell as the US importer. LP can
be lightly seen under the UJ under the Made in France stamp below
the Buffet Emblem. The 1906 version of this clarinet has a normal
backside register key & vent.
These early Buffets featured the cutout below the crows foot and
a flat spring underneath the F#/C# key. You can see the metal piece
as the touch point for the flat spring in the cutout. It also
featured a flat spring on the C#/G# |
|
|
1910-1930s |
1910-1930s Buffets were imported by Carl Fisher and had an
appropriate designation to that. Any "LP" stamp designated Low
Pitch at 440hz |
|
|
1936ish |
keywork modification (at least 1936) when the [a] added throat
adjustment screw, [b] LH pinky spatula keys went from 1 shared post
to two posts and rods; [c] and 2 horizontally placed screw thumbrest.
[d] The LH side sliver key still closes a small vent key - fork Eb/Bb
mechanism (see pics of 1936 in SN list) |
|
|
1941-1950 |
Carl Fisher Musical Instruments Company of New York continued to
import the Buffet clarinets. They (Carl Fisher and not Buffet) had
the designations of R13, R13 1/2, R14, R14 1/2, R16 R16 1/2, R16 3/4
- this was found in the Carl Fisher catalogs, not on the clarinet
itself.
The "1/2" represented an Eb lever.
The R14 had 17 keys and 7 rings & the Eb lever.
R16 was the 19 key, 7 ring with articulated G#, Eb lever and forked
Eb key.
R16 3/4 had 20 keys, 7 rings, articulated G#, Eb lever, forked Bb
and a partridge in a pear tree !! |
|
|
pre R-13 |
Pre-R13s Stopped production around 1955. Visual attributes: Shared
throat post keys; key guide for top two trill keys is a flat metal
with triangular sides.
From at least 1941 - 1955 Pro Buffets had a "Master Bore".
During the 1950-1955 time frame Carree's polycylindrical bore was
used experimentally and evolved towards the introduction of the R-13
in 1955. |
|
|
R-13 |
Started Production in 1955 through today.
Some "prototypes" were developed earlier than 1955. Primary
identification included separate throat key posts; shape of the key
guide for the top two trill keys - R-13 has a cylinder with slot cut
down the middle.
|
|
|
|
Early R13s has a flat spring for the C#/G# key until, supposedly
1970. To some, this provides a much smooth key action. This was
the preferred method going back to the earliest Buffets but was not
used in the 1940s - mid 1950's - as a needle spring was used.
We offer a service where we can retrofit a flat spring to the
C#/G# key for those that prefer it (the needle spring can be
unhooked and kept in position if desired) |
|
|
R-13 RC |
|
|
E-13
(High end Intermediate) |
pre E-13s (before they were sold as Buffets) are Evette-Schaeffer
and Evette clarinets - please see that section for more information.
|
|
C-12
(Conservatory/High end Intermediate) |
|
|
E-11
(Beginner ntermediate) |
Made in Germany. Current E-11s have plastic tonehole inserts |
|
Academy
R113 |
R113s were also known as the Academy model which were supposedly
identical to R13 with some minor default such as body or key
scratched.
Apparently the Buffets from 38,000 through 41,000 were designed
with a lower joint a bit too large. This created a problem with
clarinetists playing the instrument in tune and Buffet was losing
business. Buffet brought in Hans Moenig who some how corrected the
faults and these instruments were relabeled as an Academy model and
sold as a student model. |
|
|
International |
German made. |
|
|
S-1 |
1970s. R-13 with a inverse taper barrel for a slightly brighter
sound. Recognizable by the S1 in a diamond below the Buffet emblem. |
|
|
Limite |
A store marketed brand (Brooke Mays, Caldwell Music of the US) of
the E-11 with a cheaper plastic thumbrest, soft sided case, silver
plated keys.
Recognizable by "Limite" in script below the Buffet emblem. |
|
Olds Opera &
Linton |
supposed R-13 stencils (or Master Models) from the 1960s and 1970s.
BUT since this really can't be proven they really don't sell for
much. |
|
|
Jazz Festival |
|
|
|
Buffet Elite |
Manufactured from the 1980s through 2002. Thin wall body made of a
premium grenadilla. The reinforcing rings were made of black
polycarbonate fiber. It was supposedly designed for "chamber"
settings and not orchestra or concert band setting |
|
|
B12 (brushed) |
Very lightweight brushed plastic, great for beginners. Made in West
Germany and the quality is unmatched for a student instrument.
Excellent keywork, fit and finish. |
|
|
B12 (polished) |
|
|
|
Evette |
predecessor to the B12 - separate throat key posts, triangular trill
key guide an a large Evette emblem on a plastic body |

Between 1968 and 1974 Buffet
also made the Super Dynaction Bb clarinet. Few of these are known in
existance though they seem to have a low demand due to their jazz heritage.
Evette Master models with
the cutout under the RH crow feet are the identified R-13 rejects.
Approximately 1990 Buffet
changed their lineup.
Pre-1990
Pro to Beginner: R13 (Pro)
- C12 (Intermediate) - E45 (Intermediate) - E11 (Beginner) - B12 (Beginner)
Post 1990
Pro to Begginer: R13 (Pro) -
E13 (Intermediate) & C12 (conservatory intermediate) - E12 (Intermediate)
- E11 (Beg) - B12 (Beg)
C-13 (aka
International) is the equivalent to an E-11 but it was manufactured as a
"private brand" for another US company

RI - Radio Improved started around
K7000
BT - Balanced Tone started around L5000
The modern Selmer emblem starts in
1926, somewhere around K4500. There was also an earlier emblem, up to
somewhere in the 4000's,
that has a winged globe over the H
SELMER A PARIS oval. I have heard that the winged-globe emblem indicates
the era when Henri Selmer himself still tested and finished the clarinets
but that's purely anecdotal, there's no reason to assume it's true.
The RI model begins around K7000, the
BT around L5000. The articulated G# was not particular to the M-series,
it appears in some horns of every model up to even the 10S.
