Clarinet
I was wondering does anyone know where I would be able to identify a model of clarinet from Buffet? I already tried the site and all they gave me was this number(BC 1131) But i can't seem to match it with anything. Also after I identify it would anyone know where I might be able to sell it? Thank you in advance for all of your guys help.

Re: Clarinet
I tried looking through Ebay but when I typed in that number with the works Buffet it gave me clarinets from student to professional and priced from a few hundredth to a few thousand in price. That is where I'm having the trouble.b.williams wrote:eBayTYA wrote:I was wondering does anyone know where I would be able to identify a model of clarinet from Buffet?

Re: Clarinet
Offer the clarinet with a real high buy it now price with a best offer option. The offers that you receive might give you better idea of a potential starting price for a regular auction. Who knows maybe a best offer might be what you are looking for.TYA wrote:I tried looking through Ebay but when I typed in that number with the works Buffet it gave me clarinets from student to professional and priced from a few hundredth to a few thousand in price.

Re: Clarinet
Is it a student model or a 'professional' model?
A band director might be able to help you sell it. If it is a student model, a beginner could use it. If of better grade, an advanced student could use it. Pricewise, you'll have to look around. Used beginner model clarinets seem to go between $300-500.

There's BC1133 for the Prestige, BC1111 for the "RC", BC1139 for the Festival, etc.
Is the clarinet stamped "FRANCE" or made in Germany? Silver plated keys or nickel?
More details are needed.
Thank you for your info. I believe the keys are silver. The barrel says made in France but the lower body says made in W. Germany I'm not sure what that means.

I icic thank you. Do you have any idea on what this could sell for used?
