It would be a late 1990's model.
In the related link below, there is a chart here about 1/4 down, under the Buffet brand title.
The Buffet Crampon Paris B12 clarinet is a model that has been in production since the late 1980s. While the exact age of a specific B12 clarinet would depend on its serial number and production year, you can generally expect these instruments to be around 30 to 35 years old or more. For precise dating, checking the serial number with Buffet Crampon's records would provide the best information.
It was made in the Mid-1960s, from 1963-1966.
To determine the age of an Evette clarinet with the serial number K8050, we can look up the manufacturing date associated with that serial number. Evette clarinets, produced by Buffet Crampon, often have serial numbers that can give insights into their age, typically dating back to the mid-20th century. The "K" prefix indicates it was likely manufactured in the 1970s. Therefore, as of 2023, this clarinet would be approximately 50 years old.
