I purchased this clarinet about 40 years ago, from a friend who soon became my mentor - he first got me started, with the fabulous Wm S Haynes sterling silver double walled clarinets. When I amassed 16 Haynes clarinets (13 "Bb", 3 "A") he ( my mentor) called one day, and said " I've got a super nice "F" clarinet, you definitely should own" so, I then bought it!Now at the near age of 84, I'm realizing, I can't take my whole collection with me, even as much as I would like to, take a few with me, when I go - Ha, Ha. Are you interested in it? What is it? It has absolutely no name, or serial number on it anywhere. Is it silver plated, or sterling? It has a very heavy feel to it, with an adjustable barrel, and double walled, like the Haynes have - I have no guarantee, from my lack of knowledge, I'm at your Mercy! Length of this clarinet without a mouthpiece on is, 31 & 5/8". Whats on a Sax, that would be considered to be the "B" key, can be half hold, to clear up it's usage? The crystal mouthpiece is NOT included, nor is there a case. This clarinet needs a repad, a couple of springs, clarinet has absolutely no dents anywhere, no stuck keys,and takes a polish real nice, clarinet is being sold as is, no return. I'd like to get $7,995.00 for it, or will consider a very fair close offer - clarinet is subject to local sale also, so, before buying, email, to make sure clarinet is still available. Please look at all 12 pictures (last one is information we received via ebay messages from a fellow ebayer) as well as zoom in for close ups - if you need more pictures, or pictures of something I didn't show, Please message me your email address, so I can send them to you directly. Please ask any questions you may have, or any information you may have for us is very much welcomed, you can also give Ron a call 313 725-0117 - he would be glad to talk to you. Shipping cost includes full selling value insurance, box, packing materials, and tracking number. International buyers, Please email before buying, as I will need to know if I can purchase full selling value Insurance to your country (I WILL NOT ship this clarinet, if it can not be fully insured, to you)
