Your clarinet is the ONLY thing limiting your tone quality! Step into the world of the Noblet 45 in rare, elegant grenadilla: the most affordable ARTIST-LEVEL clarinet available! The serial number on this instrument dates it sometime before 1964, likely toward the beginning of the 60s. It is a RARE, early vintage, TOP-OF-THE-LINE Noblet soprano clarinet. Noblet is an outstanding line of Parisian clarinets, though they are no longer in production. The Noblet brand was discontinued due to the rise of new models of Leblanc clarinets. This lovely gem has been hand-restored in painstaking detail by a PROFESSIONAL craftsman, not a hobbyist, and the difference in quality of workmanship is obvious. This was not a mere pad job, but a functional and cosmetic restoration. This vintage beauty has been returned to her prime, youthful splendour! This clarinet comes with continued service via this craftsman. Complimentary with your purchase is a 2-year, limited WARRANTY and PERSONAL ACCESS to your technician.
