I just purchased a conn shooting star tenor sax. Serial number N94849. I started playing sax in June 04 with and alto selmer bundyII. This one says made in Mexico. From the info on the site its evidently not an expensive pro model, but it sounds great. (if I do say so myself, even with me playing it.) My question is. Serial Number Lookup. Fields with. are required. Select Manufacturer ADOLPHE SAX BUESCHER BUFFET C.G. CONN GRAFTON HOLTON KEILWERTH KING LeBlanc MARTIN SELMER SML YAMAHA YANAGISAWA. Serial Number. The YAS-26 combines state-of-the-art production expertise with design elements of Yamaha professional and custom saxophones. The result is an entry-level instrument that delivers the response, intonation and tone needed to help developing musicians achieve success. Hello, My saxophone was stolen from my house, and in order for me to be able to claim the money from the insurance I need to be identify as much details as possible on it. I bought it in 1990 (so calling all you Saxophone aficionados!) and I think I paid around £700 for it at the time. It wasn't the 'student' one, but one up from that.
Serial numbers can be found in a variety of places on different instruments. Please use the images below to help locate the serial number on your instrument.
| Tubas and baritone horns most often have the serial number on the center valve or on the mouthpiece receiver. |
| French horns may display serial numbers on or around the valves, on the underside of the key area, or near the mouthpiece. |
| Flute serial numbers can be found on the back of the body, or middle joint. They are commonly placed near the foot joint receiver, or near the top of the body, either on the barrel or near the highest key. |
| On the clarinet, serial numbers appear on the back of the body of the instrument, on either side of the socket rings where the upper joint meets the lower joint, or close to the bell. |
| Serial numbers on oboes are usually seen on the back of the instrument, in the middle where the joints meet, or close to the lowest key, near the bell. |
| Piccolo serial numbers generally appear near either end of the body of the piccolo, on the back of the instruments. On Yamaha (and some other) piccolos, the numbers may be located on the metal receiver for the headjoint (circled), and may be covered when assembled. |
| Saxophones display their serial numbers on the back of the instrument, near the thumb rest. Older saxophones may also have a serial number on the neck. |
| Serial numbers on trombones normally appear on the body near the slide receiver (arrow) or on the slide receiver or mouthpiece receiver (circled). |
| On a trumpet, look on either side of the center valve for the serial number. |

.| 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. |
