Vintage P. Gerard Paris Stencil Bb Boehm Clarinet
$545
Here's a very clean c.1950 'P. Gerard Paris' Bb Boehm clarinet by Thibouville Freres. The instrument is made of grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, and a bore of .582". All pieces are in good shape, no cracks or repairs. Paul Gerard owned a music store in Paris that closed c.1954, and sold instruments stenciled with his name but made by prominent makers of the day, like Beaugnier saxophones and Thibouville clarinets. All the instruments that I've worked on have been of very good quality, so here's a chance to pick up a good clarinet for a low price!
It was just overhauled: disassembled, soaked in oil, the mechanism swedged and countersunk, body, keys, rings, and posts buffed, white leather pads and corks installed. This pro grade clarinet is in great shape for its years and plays with a sweet, open tone and good intonation. Comes with original case in clean, solid condition.
