Vintage Siour Chapelain Bb Boehm Clarinet
$545
Here's a beautiful late 1910's/early 20's Bb Boehm clarinet by Siour Chapelain of Paris. The instrument is made of grenadilla wood and nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, with a bore of .580". It is standard Boehm fingering, with the wrap around register key that was the predecessor of the modern design. All pieces are original, no cracks or repairs. This is being sold on consignment for a collector friend who is thinning his stock. I overhauled it a few years ago: Its been disassembled, soaked in oil, the mechanism swedged and countersunk, body, keys, rings, and posts buffed, tan leather pads and corks installed. This 100+ year old clarinet is in good shape for its years and plays with a warm, focused tone and decent intonation. Comes with vintage case in solid (but somewhat worn) condition.
