Hi
I am not a musician, though I happen to have a Buffet Crampon oboe inherited from a relative. It has a serial number of 2056 on both of the main pieces, and Buffet Crampon Paris clearly written on the end-piece. A bit of googling has revealed that the serial number is key (I think), and it seems that the manufacturer used to have a Serial Number search / identification app on their website, but this seems to be defunct. I attach a photo of it in its case, but can't get any decent detail of the serial number using my smartphone camera....And yes, naturally, I am interested in knowing what it might be worth! Help much appreciated. Matt
