I am checking out an Evette Alto Sax with the serial # N165013. Is there a web site that list the serial numbers of these instruments to find out really where they were made by the serial number? Thanks for any info. All I can see on the sax is Evette and this serial number.Franko
Buffet Crampon has a rich tradition in saxophone production, going back to the very early days of the instrument in the late 19th century. The early Buffet horns were in fact very similar to Adolphe Sax's original design. Their saxophone production really took off in the 1950's, with the Dynactio...

Evette Schaeffer Alto Saxophone Serial Numbers
Despite purchasing all of the assets of the Adolphe Sax Company in 1928, Selmer did not start selling saxophones bearing the Adolphe Sax name until 1931. The last Adolphe Sax saxophone recorded in the Selmer Paris archives was sold in 1944. Its likely that production of Adolphe Sax instruments ceased at the onset of WWII sometime after May of 1940. Any Adolphe Sax instrument sold after this date was most likely already made or assemble from pre-existing parts. For example, the record shows that all of the recorded Adolphe Sax instrument sales between 1940-1941 were from instruments already manufactued between 1931-36. There is a fairly detailed record of these instruments recorded in a log book in the Selmer archives in Paris up to 1936 through serial number 1364. The record is much less complete after 1936. Instruments manufactured after 1936 range in serial number from 1350-3600. The log book shows the serial numbers jumping around quite a bit for the Selmer/Adolphe Sax saxophones. Even so, its possible from this record to assemble a basic serial number chart for these instruments. Some instruments were stamped H. Selmer and some were not. All were stamped Adolphe Sax 84 Rue Myrha. By comparing early verses later instruments, it becomes clear that some Adolphe Sax Selmer saxophones were assembled from the old Adolphe Sax tooling and other were put togther using parts and tooling from the Selmer St. Louis Gold Metal model instruments.
hi, a realy interesting Instrument. If you have more fotos, more details I can say more.
