Vintage F. Barbier
Clarinet in "A"
Made in France
Overhauled
Plays with a Big Rich Tone! Offered is a beautiful handmade "A" clarinet made by F. Barbier. No serial number. F. Barbier stamp found on all joints except the bell. It might have been buffed off since there's evidence of a ring repair. Made c. 1920's to 1930's. F. Barbier is a well known instrument maker who worked and learned with Selmer. Later he shared a shop with Couesnon. This clarinet has many common characteristics with the Couesnon instruments, i.e. cut outs under the spatula keys, spring on the low F# key touch and a shared post on the high G#-A. The wood is tight grained grenadilla wood and the keys and rings are nickel. Excellent condition mechanically. There is evidence of a repaired crack in the barrel. Otherwise the wood is in excellent condition. We just overhauled this beautiful professional quality "A" clarinet using cork pads on the upper joint and Buffet style double skinned pads on the other keys. This superb clarinet plays effortlessly with a strong deep tone and fluid feel. Light tension steel needle springs give a snappy response.Plays at A=440.This lovely clarinet includes a long case, pro quality mouthpiece, cork grease, swab and some reeds (not shown).Great price for a quality wood "A" clarinet!Ships anywhere. Sales tax in NY State.Thanks for looking!Scott Russ Music
