1930's Selmer K-series "A" ClarinetThis clarinet was overhauled less than a year ago, and received all new pads (including cork pads in the upper joint). The wood was cleaned and given an oil treatment, and it is in absolutely remarkable condition for its age. The most beautiful part of the overhaul was the custom silver plating of the keys: the original keys on the instrument were solid nickel silver, and they were plated in silver by Anderson Silver Plating. The posts and barrel/bell rings were also plated during the overhaul. The only thing that couldn't be replated was the larger bell ring, as this can't be removed.The original barrel had a very small crack that didn't go through the bore, and it was repaired (seen in the picture). Included is an additional Selmer barrel. There is no history of cracks anywhere else on the instrument.The clarinet hasn't been played in a while (common for non-orchestral musicians who own A clarinets...hence why I'm selling), and will need a minor tune-up to make it performance ready. The long B key is slow and I believe it just needs a stronger spring. This would make a perfect budget A clarinet for college or community orchestra!This does NOT include a case.
