Vintage SML King Lemaire Bb Boehm Clarinet
$675 hold
Here's a nice example of one of my favorite budget large bore clarinets - a 1973 'Lemaire' model Bb Boehm system clarinet by Strasser, Marigaux& Lemaire of Paris stenciled for King of the USA. The instrument is made of grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, and a large bore of .585". Better known for their great saxophones, SML also made some really nice clarinets! All pieces are original, no cracks or repairs.
Its been disassembled, soaked in oil, the mechanism swedged and countersunk, body, keys, rings, and posts buffed, new white Roo leather pads and key/tenon corks installed. Its in great, lightly used condition for its years and plays with an open, resonant sound and good intonation! Comes with original case in solid condition.
