![]() ![]() I lost track of this thread and almost completely missed your reply. This is probably the point where the label on wooden Evettes changed from ".Sponsored by." to "EVETTE." In a catalog I have seen from around 1968, wooden Evettes carried the "EVETTE" logo while plastic ones were still ".Sponsored by." The D-series for Evettes was the last one and appears to have started in 1963 according to the Buffet serial number list at the Boosey site. I have never come across a B-series Evette, though I have seen Evette & Schaeffer models with that prefix. The two ".Sponsored by" Evettes that I have both have a serial number without any prefis. Does the throat G# key have an adjustment screw where it crosses over the A? Also, do the A and G# throat keys share a post or do they each have two separate posts? Perhaps, keywork would help narrow the dating down some. There probably was a B series that I just haven't seen. There is another possibility, though I think it's a slim one. I found out from Buffet, based on a search of their factory records, that they had inadvertently numbered two instruments with the same serial number. To distinguish them, they added a B prefix to mine. If you prefer, please feel free to e-mail me directly. I have a wonderful Evette Schaeffer Bb clarinet with a miniature "Buffet Crampon" stamp in the middle of the round (not oval) logo. It has a smaller bore than modern R13 clarinets but the bore is only. Is there a serial number reference chart for french made Evette Schaeffer clarinets? Does anyone know when this French made instrument may have been manufactured? This Evette Schaeffer clarinet plays very well and I think it is as good as any horn that I have played. There is, indeed a list of serial numbers at least for the Evette & Schaeffer K-series, and it's right here at this website: #Buffet clarinet serial numbers serial number# ![]() #Buffet clarinet serial numbers serial numbers# ![]() ![]() The list is labeled E13 and omits the K-prefix. #Buffet clarinet serial numbers series#.#Buffet clarinet serial numbers serial number#.#Buffet clarinet serial numbers serial numbers#. ![]()
