Vintage Buescher True Tone Bb Boehm Clarinet
$575
A rare late 1940's/early 50's vintage "TrueTone" model Bb Boehm clarinet by Buescher... However, Buescher didn't make their own clarinets, but preferred to job them out to other makers! This I believe to be a Penzel Mueller, either Brilliante or Artist model, as attested by the unusual spatula shape on the lower body and the serial number, which runs long ways on both body sections with the same letter/number pattern of later PMs! The instrument is made of grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, and a large bore of .580/.585". All pieces are original, no cracks or repairs.
It has been disassembled, soaked in oil, the mechanism swedged and countersunk, body, keys, rings, and posts buffed, white Roo leather pads and key/tenon corks installed. This clarinet is in good shape for its years and plays with a big, open tone, good intonation, reminiscent of a vintage Penzel Muellers of the period . Comes with original case in solid condition.
