Vintage Ebonite Bb Albert Clarinet
$295
Here's a lovely 1920's simple Albert system clarinet in Bb, unmarked but looks French or Belgian to me.. The instrument is made of Ebonite with nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, and a large bore of .590". Ebonite is an early synthetic material, lighter than wood and less likely to crack from weather changes! All pieces are in good shape, with no repairs.
It was just overhauled: disassembled, oiled, the mechanism swedged and countersunk, body, keys, rings, and posts buffed, white leather pads and corks installed. This rare clarinet is in good shape for its years and plays with a big, open tone and good intonation, but a bit sharp of modern pitch, hence the price. However, still a great instrument for solo practice or gigs with tunable instruments. Comes with modern case in clean, solid condition.
