I recently purchased a used Buffet B12 on eBay from a respected buyer with tons of positive feedback. Paid about $100 for it with shipping. When I received it, the first thing I noticed was that there was no Buffet logo stamped anywhere on it. Not the bell. Not the barrel. Not the upper joint. Nothing. The only markings on this clarinet are the serial number: 921743, and the etching, "Made in Germany." That's it. It did come in a Buffet case labeled, "Buffet Crampon & Cie A Paris" and I suspect the case is genuine. But the clarinet is another story. I'm thinking I got taken. Anyone have any idea what kind of clarinet I've got here? Did Buffet ever make clarinets with no logo? I can post pictures if necessary.
Thanks so much for your help!!
