Description
A very rare antique Albert System "C" clarinet. It has been restored & is for sale by one of the best repairmen in northeast Wisconsin with 40 years of experience. The name is worn off, but the word "Paris" is visible & it is wood. The letters "J.T.L." are stamped on the thumb rest & the ligature & the ligature also says "Brevete SGDG". It has a wood mouthpiece, possibly original. Each section has "C" stamped on it. There are no cracks in the body or bell, but the barrel was cracked & filled. It does not come with a case. It sells as is & due to the age & design of the time the intonation is not too great, but it does play. This is a great collector horn - not a gigging horn. Foreign sales via the Global Shipping program only. The last photo shows the horn between regular Eb & Bb clarinets. A regular Bb mouthpiece fits in the barrel if you want to play it, but a C mpc. would be better.
