Up for sale is this late c. late 1930's vintage Bb Boehm system 'professional' model clarinet by A. Robert of Paris. It is grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys and a large bore of .585"and features both a 7th ring and an articulated C#. It plays big and open, like a Selmer CT and would be a great Jazz horn! It is in great vintage condition, with no crack repairs and a faint hairline in the bell. The clarinet has been disassembled, soaked in oil, keys swedged and countersunk (to remove lost motion), body and keys buffed, all new Pisoni leather pads and cork installed, and reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. Big, open tone with even response through the registers, good ergonomics and intonation. I am really impressed with the play-ability of the instrument! Includes a period case (probably original) 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" 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.
