Jean Louis Buffet was already making musical instruments as early as the 1840's. In 1871, Leon Crampon became a partner. If you come across an 'F' preceding the serial number of an R13, this indicates that the instrument has been built to an A442 - A444 and is intended for use by European ensembles.

Hi,
I have an Evette Schaeffer tenor sax with a serial number of 39793, Italy. Does anyone know what year this was made?

Unfortunately I don't have any information from previous owners about it's history. The Evette Schaeffer logo is engraved on the bell, and part from that and the serial number and the word Italy - nothing. Photos attached.

Help us to help you.This is the minimum information that must be provided for an assessment, identification, and monetary evaluation:

1. Good photos of the entire horn, back and front.
2. A thorough listing of any and all markings, serial numbers, make/model names etc. stamped or engraved on the instrument.
3. Any anecdotal history of the instrument in question that might be available (Such as 'my grandfather bought it in NY, NY in 1940 I'm told' etc.)

Condition and other details that require good photos AT A MINIMUM to accurately assess are paramount regarding a horn's value. Without that information, an accurate monetary evaluation is impossible.

This is a student level sax, likely made by the Italian firm of A. Santoni for Evette in the 1960's or early 1970's. As a 'Stencil' horn (i.e. an instrument made by one manufacturer for another maker/retailer to brand with their own name and model), catalogs of serial number vs. date of manufacture listings are not published and thus the only ay to date it is to ID the features of the instrument as I have done.

Older Italian saxophones are in general the 'Rodney Dangerfield' of the sax world, in that the get no respect. Most are not held in high regard, and thus do not fetch much in the marketplace.

Current production, high level, hand built professional Rampone & Cazzani and Borgani horns being very much the exception.

The above, coupled with the fact that it is a student level horn, means that your example is worth a coupe of hundred dollars +/-.

Hi,

Evette And Schaeffer Serial Numbers

thanks for that. Sounds like it's about the same age as me - but in a bit better condition 😊

It's nice to have an idea about the value (I was given it) but I'm interested in learning to play not selling it.

Thanks for your help.

Once a good tech has examined and adjusted the horn, replaced any or all of the pads corks and springs as needed, and insured that it is sealing top to bottom, it should be a worthy horn to learn with.

My research might put from 1950 - 1970. This is one page to check it out.

Ya man tune it up and learn to play...just because it does not have a blue blood pedigree and history doesn't mean it doesn't have some more music to sing. Cherish that unique horn you have,very cool!! Gary in Colorado. 36 yer sax man.

Clarinets

A clarinet is a musical instrument that has been used for centuries. It can be used in bands, orchestras, or as a solo instrument. There are many kinds of them available in various materials and for differing skill levels.

How do clarinets work?

This instrument is a part of the woodwind family. It is designed as a straight, cylindrical tube with a flared bell. It works by using a single-reed mouthpiece, which produces the sound alongside using the keys. The trick to mastering this instrument has to do with its three main registers, since the tone can vary greatly. The Bb clarinet is a prevalent type, which has a warm, rich tone. They can be made of various materials and have the largest pitch range of any other woodwind.

What are they made of?

Historically, these instruments have been made from rubber, hard plastic, metal, ivory, and wood. Basic models, used by beginners or students, tend to be made of plastic resin, while professionals tend to use wooden clarinets. The invention of Resonite by Selmer helped produce hard plastic models. The mouthpieces are either made of a rubber or plastic. The keys and ligature are mostly made of metal, plated in nickel, gold, or silver.

What types of clarinets are there?

One prevalent form is the Bb, or B-flat, clarinet. This is the type can be seen in bands or orchestras. Another popular choice is the Bass clarinet, which is much larger and produces a deep, mellow sound. There are also alto and Eb clarinets, which produce brighter or darker sounds, respectively.

What types of Bb clarinets are there?

Bb clarinets can be divided into three main categories when it comes to suitability for musicians. They can be suited for either beginner, intermediate, or advanced players. The main differences in these levels are the material, tone, and quality. Instruments made of more durable materials tend to be used by beginners, while music played by advanced musicians are usually made of wood. Young students can typically be considered beginners, while advanced players are usually at college level or above.
