    Description

    This is the clarinet featured in the Silver-Clarinet web site.

    Year of Manufacture:
    Conn got their metal clarinet patent in 1889, with clarinet No. 1 being attributed to 1895. The clarinet pictured above is a Conn HP Eb Albert, and was one of the first ever made. The Conn Wonder was a double-walled Albert system clarinet that went to market in 1895 with 2000 units featuring gold plated keys on a silver body. This clarinet
    has a really fabulous tone.”
