Couesnon Serial numbers

[saxyben]

As far as I am aware there is no list for Couesnon Saxophone serial numbers. My Monopole 2 alto is 92XX , which I believe is around 1958 . Does anyone else have any dates of theirs, if so post them here so we can compile it and forward it to saxpics.Leave the last 2 numbers as XXs to keep them anonymous.
If anyone doesn't know where to find them, they are sometimes on the front of the sax under one of the right hand pads.
Thanks :)

I have a Monopole II alto with serial #103XX that I do not know the date of manufacture but after reading this thread I guess I'm somewhere between you two :)

Thanks for the replies.
The 14,000 1969 model and the 1958 9000 model would imply approximately 500 horns a year assuming they made them evenly.
However this does disagree with the saxpics site where he dates the Monopole 1 upto 82xx / 1950.
My 9000 model date was based on a recent ebay one with a dated makers tag, so it should be fairly accurate.
Any more thoughts welcomed. :)

I just got a Couesnon clarinet and it's an excellent instrument. Great Find!

It's serial number is 285xx. If any of you are able to track down a serial number list please let me know.

Who is it that doth take my name in vain? Oh. Hi, Ben.

No, I haven't gotten much more info on C. serials. I have found another C. sax model that I haven't yet posted, though.

* Sigh *

One of y'all win the lottery and give me a stipend so I can just sit at home doing website stuff.

I know mine is 1969 for sure because it was bought new and I still have the receipt! Not sure why my mom kept it all these years but she recently gave me a bunch of old papers and it was in there.
