Hi I was looking to put a year on my Noblet (Paris) and came across some interesting websites about clarinets and the companies who made them etc. My Noblet was made in Paris in 1973.

Hope they are of use.
D. Noblet of France in 1750, when the great flourishing of instrumental music at the court of Louis XV created a demand for musical instruments of all kinds. More than any other instrument manufacturer, Noblet refined and developed early woodwind manufacturing techniques, securing for the French nation its preeminent reputation for producing the best wind instruments in the world. Based in La Couture-Boussey for two and a half centuries, it is among the oldest continuously operating companies in France.
In 1904, having no heirs, the Noblet family passed its holdings to Georges Leblanc.
