- I read there are the 100, special, and soloist models of Selmer Signet. Are these the only Signet models ever made? All Signet clarinets ever made are wood and not plastic, right? I'm asking specifically because I was asked about a Selmer Signet clarinet with 21 keys, do they exist (it's possibly but unlikely a mistake)?

.| Notes | Beaugnier: If you decided to play around with the serial numbers on http://www.doctorsax.biz/beaugnier_ser_nos.htm, note that he doesn't differentiate between the Leblanc System (two/three versions), Rationale (whichever spelling you wish) and Semi Rationale (two versions). | Boosey and Hawkes: 1. Boosey and Hawkes is a combination of the Boosey company and the Hawkes company. Hawkes produced their own instruments, for a time, and combined with Boosey in the 1930s. Boosey and Hawkes have been, since that time, sheet music producers and importers. 2. A lot of the saxophones stamped 'Boosey and Hawkes' are stencil instruments. To read more about stencils, please read my article HERE. | Keefer: The vast majority of saxophones stamped 'Keefer' are stencils. | Buescher: Horns stamped 'The Buescher Band Instrument Company' from the 1920's are stencils, as are the modern BU-series of horns available from Selmer, and follow different serial number charts. | Buffet-Crampon: 1. A small, but significant, percentage of all Buffet and/or Evette-Schaeffer woodwinds in the 1900-1930 range (or so) were Conn stencils and do not have Buffet serial numbers. In the 1990's, Keilwerth stenciled a saxophone for Buffet called the 'Expression' and that model has a Keilwerth serial number. 2. The modern Buffet 400 (and similar) are Asian-made and do not follow these serial number charts. | Bundy: 1. The Bundy in question here is from approximately 1950 to date. Earlier horns were a mixture of Conn and Buescher stencils. 2. For a brief time, Bundy and Bundy Special saxophones were available from Keilwerth and Dörfler & Jörka, are stamped 'Made in Germany' and do not have a Bundy serial number. | Julius Keilwerth: Except for the ST-90 I and EX-90 I and II, the ST-90 and EX-90 were not made by Keilwerth and probably do not have Keilwerth serial numbers. For a chart of those models, see THIS. | Kohlert: The modern Kohlert instruments are made in China or Taiwan. Their serial number format is completely different. The serial numbers listed here are for the German/Czech made instruments. | LeBlanc: Leblanc does not give out serial number charts. If you ask them, EXCESSIVELY NICELY, about a serial number off a horn you own, they might tell you when it was made. | SML: 1. The SML A400/T400 are Asian-made stencils not made under the authority of SML and are not included in this chart. 2. Some very early SML saxophones were stencils. There are also occasional late-model stencils. For further info, click HERE. | Vito: Vito saxophones have been made by Vito (Wisconsin), Beaugnier, Leblanc, Yamaha, Jupiter and Yanagisawa. Keep this in mind when attempting to date your instrument. | Yamaha: These serial numbers are probably only for the Vito labeled YAS-21/23/25 stencils. However, these serials might apply to all Yamsaha instruments. The standard info on Yamaha serial numbers is that they are not sequential and you need to contact Yamaha directly for information. |

Just wanted to pass along another data point for Selmer Signet 100 serial numbers. I am the original owner of a Selmer Signet 100 SN 111468 purchased in fall 1973. I was taking clarinet lessons in the 5th grade and the instrument was sold to my parents by a music company in Decatur, AL. About Conn-Selmer Conn-Selmer Careers Diversity and Inclusion Plan Latest News Accessibility Statement Resources Conn-Selmer Videos Frequently Asked Questions Purchase an Instrument Serial Numbers Warranty Information. Signet “S” Brace. Selmer USA made a version of the Signet which was basically a Buescher 400 (after they purchased Buescher – the 400 line included ‘TOp Hat and Cane’; S5 & S25 models). This is a fantastic horn with a nice full tone and warmth. It is mainly identifiable by the “S” shaped bell brace.
I'm always looking for more info for this chart. If you have any, please drop me a line at thesaxinfo@gmail.com.

Here are a couple of tables to help you out. The accuracy isn't guaranteed, but it should be a good start.

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.
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.
See Full List On Adams-music.com
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.
