I purchased this clarinet as a college student in 1977 while majoring in music education. It came from Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center and was selected by a professional clarinetist. It has always been used inside in a "concert and solo" setting and meticulously maintained. It has never been used in marching band.
This clarinet received a complete overhaul in 2020 by a professional woodwind repair tech and has been played little since. Work included new pads, corks, springs and tenons.
Condition:
Cosmetic:
- Very clean
- Wood finish very good
- Silver plating on keys is good
Mechanical:
- Wood in good shape
- Pads are new
- Tenon corks new
- Springs new
Case:
- Newer Buffet case
Flaws:
- Very few. The horn is is great condition. The only issue is it encountered a small crack in the upper body in 1982. It was sent to a special repair shop and repaired. It has had no problems since.
