From Dave Surber of Leblanc:

'Interested individuals may contact Leblanc's customer service department who will do their best to help them with as much information as we have available. However our records are only available from 1964 to the present.

We have limited records available to us and we do our best to provide as accurate information as we have. Unfortunately our serial numbering system and records were not set up for ease in locating this information.

Selmer (Paris) clarinets Professional clarinets since 1885 The Series: is the letter in the serial number itself and not the model Series. Example: Selmer, Series 10S, #B0478 is a B Series made in 1980. We have no information on Selmer clarinets made before the L Series.

  • Selmer Clarinet Serial Number List I acquired a Selmer USA clarinet a few years ago and have been playing it ever since. I would love to no what the model is but other than a model number (1052), gold-plated keys and very nice grenadilla wood there is no way for me to determine the actual model name.
  • Buescher/Bundy, Boosey, Boosey & Hawkes, and Conn Selmer Buffet. Freddie the goldfish game for kids. It can take a considerable amount of time to locate a particular serial number if we do. The clarinet is in great shape and plays well, and there are no cracks or splits and few blemishes, so noted by the repairman. The Symphonie was a top of.
  • The Selmer USA serial numbers for the forties, in the list that I have, show a gap between 30,000 (10/15/40) and 33,000 (6/1/47) presumably because of the war. Selmer USA began making (or selling) Manhatten metal clarinets and Manhatten wood clarinets in the 1920s and/or 1930s.

We currently manufacture or distribute several brands of wind instruments. Each one of these lines has numerous models of instruments and unfortunately in some cases each model has its own series of serial numbers. These series of numbers have not been maintained in separate lists but are recorded together in our sales records that begin in 1964. It can take a considerable amount of time to locate a particular serial number if we do not have any idea of the model or when it was originally sold.

Individuals reselling used instruments should be responsible for supplying details of the original purchase ie: warranty registration documents or sales receipt information which would confirm the model and serial number of the instrument and the date it was originally purchased.
