Description Brand: carl fisher Type: A soprano Design: Albert System Body Material: wood MPN: Does Not Apply Skill Level: Professional Key: A UPC: Does not apply
This is a very rare c.1910's vintage A LP Albert system clarinet, stenciled for Carl Fisher of NY by Buffet Crampon of Paris. It is grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys and is in great vintage condition, with a huge .605" bore! It is in good vintage condition, with no body cracks or repairs, just a couple key re-solders. The clarinet has been disassembled, body oiled, keys swedged and countersunk (to remove lost motion), keys and body buffed, all new Ferree leather pads and cork installed, and reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. Huge, warm, open tone, good ergonomics and intonation - even the front F and forked low Bb! Includes period case in good condition. Please see for more pics and information. Please note that auctions may end at any time, as these instruments are often also offered on my website - "The Vintage Clarinet Doctor". Given the cost of the clarinet, I'm going to be trying to sell it in the US only. I'll give it a couple months and see what happens before I change my mind...
My Qualifications I am a trained woodwind instrument tech and past member of NAPBIRT (the National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians) working out of a private shop in Central VA and have restored many instruments for sale on ebay. I believe that my 14 years of positive feedback speaks for itself and that you will be happy with this item! Please check out the Vintage Clarinet Doctor on Facebook! Why Vintage Clarinets? I believe that vintage clarinets represent one of the most underpriced and underutilized resources on the market. While there is some junk out there, there are many makes and models that are good to excellent players if properly overhauled and that will provide satisfaction to collectors, students and even pro players while saving the buyer hundreds of dollars! Nickel and grenadilla wood are increasingly finite resources and the craftsmanship on some of these old horns makes them a real pleasure to own. Why not try a vintage clarinet from the Vintage Clarinet Doctor see the difference for yourself? Shipping and Returns Shipping is free in the USA or as arranged internationally.
