Here's a lovely c. 1960 vintage Bb Boehm system clarinet by Robert Malerne of Paris, stenciled for the C. Ponte music store in New York City. It is made of fine grained grenadilla wood with solid nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, and a bore of .575". All pieces are original and in great shape.
Its been disassembled, soaked in oil, swedged and countersunk, body, keys and posts buffed, new white Roo leather pads and key/tenon corks installed. This well made clarinet is in great shape for its age and has a sweet, focused tone with good intonation and comfortable ergonomics. Comes with later case in solid condition.
