Noblet Normandy Clarinet Serial Numbers

Noblet Normandy Clarinet Serial Numbers Rating: 8,5/10 8276 reviews
Pictured below is serial #399. From information at woodwind.com, this oval logo was used from the 1940's. Given the low serial number, I would put the age of the horn at 1940. There also is a plastic Noblet DN with a rather low serial number, which I think was made near the same time, before the Normandy and Vito lines.

It seems that this oval Noblet emblem was in use from the 1940s through about 1962, then use of the diamond logo extended to about 1990. But starting around 1972 both the diamond logo and the newer TV screen shaped logo were used, depending on the model number.And I am guessing the mountain shaped logo might have started around 1994.
The D and N are superimposed. Below is from serial #5838. This one also had Buffet style wavey shaped right trill keys, with the top two on a single post.

There is supposed to be more information that I will need to research another time.
The D [for Denis] was dropped {at some point} when they joined Leblanc.
The barrel below has the TV screen shaped logo (but is a from a model N, not DN).

#399 Bore: 14.5mm at both ends of the LH joint.
Serial #5838, Barrel 63.7mm. Bore 14.8mm at both the top and bottom of the LH joint.
The first test was of #399, (as always, playing loud, so that explains the flatness in the throat tones). The first test was with the pictured 66mm barrel. (I personally always play a 64mm barrel.) That instrument will play very nicely in tune for anyone who normally plays the standard 66mm barrel.
The second test with #5838 was using the original 63.7mm barrel, pulled out 1.35mm. The intonation is excellent. One doesn't get better intonation without moving to a poly-cylindrical bore instrument.
