Bundy serial numbers.

Bundy was Selmer USA’s student line, introduced in the early 1960s. From 1963 Bundy brass was built by Buescher — so brass Bundys are dated with the Buescher serial table.

The school-band standard.

Frequently asked
Does this archive date Bundy instruments?

Not directly — Bundy brass was produced by Buescher, so those serial tables are the ones to use.

Where is the serial number on a Bundy instrument?

As on Buescher instruments (Elkhart). The exact spot varies by era and instrument type — the serial number guide walks through the common locations.

What if my Bundy serial number is not found?

Recheck the characters exactly as marked, including any letters and leading zeros. Letter-prefixed numbers often belong to student or non-domestic lines that cannot be dated from the number. Some production periods may simply not be covered yet.
