If you happen to have any additional information that would make this chart MORE accurate, please feel free to email me. I also gathered information for this page from website that cites Albert Mensinga as the source for MANY of the serial numbers.
I do not know if an Elkhart Serial number list exists or not.īig Thanks to Dr Rick's Vinllage Flute and Sax Shop website for providing some of the serial numbers and years produced. If you see one of these horns and the owner is claiming they are from the 1920s or 1930s or before, then they are using the wrong serial number chart. Write the saxophone's serial number down for easy reference. Some Selmer Bundy saxophones even have the serial number in both locations. Most were made post World War II possibly up to 1960. The serial number for most saxophones, including Selmer Bundy saxophones, is located in one of two places: on the side of the body tube opposite the D key or on the bell near the Selmer Bundy logo. These instruments had their OWN serial numbering system. They also bear the inscription "BUILT BY BUESCHER".
The Valveīlock on these instruments are made by Elkhart and thus have a completely different numbering system.Īny Trumpet or Cornet with the engraving of an ELK (see below) will NOT match up on the Buescher Serial number list. These are most likely mid to late 1960s instruments.ģ) Most (if not all) Buescher trumpets that have the "ELK" logo have a separate serial number listing. These obviously are NOT subject to this serial number chart. Selmer must have done a serial number "reset" at some point.Ģ) I have also noticed some of the 1960s "Side Scroller" and possibly "Top Scroller" logoed trumpets/cornets that have serial numbers in the 100,000 range. Most seem to have the "Upsidedown Nike" Bell Logo and are model BU-7. Some of the modern Buescher labeled trumpets from the 1970-present that have serial numbers that do not correspond to this chart.
Please note that there are a FEW exceptions to this chart. I see many blogs from supposed 'authorities' for saxophones, especially SELMER models, but see very in the way of really accurate knowledge, such as I have after 30 years with the company. so I have listed BOTH numbers, I think the number MORE accurate would be 326000. The regular BUNDY had been by far the most purchased student model for years, but the first year of the BUNDY II saw a 38 further increase in sales. *1950 Serial number is different on various sites. Horn-u-Copia An Index to Selmer Instruments. For example, serial number 50,000 should have been made in 1995, but was actually made in 1988.Īs such, use this chart as a very rough guide only – if you need accurate information, contact Haynes directly.About this time Selmer Purchased Buescher This list is not completely accurate, as Haynes serial numbers are not necessarily in chronological order.
