$475
Here's a rare late 1910's/ early 1920's vintage Bb Boehm system clarinet by Siour Chapelain of Paris. Here's what the Langwill index has to say about him: Siour-Chapelain: fl La Couture 1917-1927, fl Paris 1917-1927.1917 established by Robert Siour as successor to F. Chapelain; 1927 workforce of 180 reported, there having been only 30 in 1919; 1927 Siour in partnership with Beaugnier. Address in 1923: 118 Boulevard Voltaire, Paris XI.
The body is grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys and a bore of .575" It is in good condition for age, with clean tenons and chimneys, no cracks or crack repairs. It has been disassembled, soaked in oil, swedged and countersunk, body, keys and posts buffed, new white Roo leather pads and corks installed. Sweet, focused tone, good intonation with comfortable key-work. I am really pleased with this instrument! Comes with vintage case in solid condition.
