Vintage H. Bettoney Columbia Bb Boehm Clarinet
$575
A rare 1920's vintage 'Columbia' model Bb Boehm clarinet by Harry Bettoney of Boston.. The instrument is made of grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, and a large bore of .585". All pieces are original, no cracks or repairs. It was overhauled a few years back for a customer who is now thinning the heard: disassembled, soaked in oil, the mechanism swedged and countersunk, body, keys, rings, and posts buffed, tan leather pads and corks installed. This pro grade clarinet is in good shape for its years and plays with a warm, open tone, good intonation, reminiscent of a vintage Selmer . Comes with vintage case in solid condition.
