Buffet Crampon clarinets made in Germany were typically produced before the company's manufacturing operations moved primarily to France. The specific date of manufacture can often be determined by the serial number on the instrument, which can indicate the year it was made. To get the exact manufacturing date, it's advisable to consult Buffet Crampon's serial number chart or contact the manufacturer directly.

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.
I just had mine appraised for $1200.00. Thinking of selling it.
It was made in the Mid-1960s, from 1963-1966.
They are great clarinets. Buffet is a long standing company. You have to check to know if the clarinet you are buying is made either in France or Germany. The B12 made in France is obviously better, but they stopped making them long time ago. The B12 made in Germany is a decent instrument. Just try to stay away from knockoffs.
