Karl Hammerschmidt Bb Viennese Model German Bore clarinet With New Pads

Description

Bb clarinet Viennese System Keywork with 15,00 mm German bore clarinet by Karl Hammerschmidt (Burgau),
B Klarinette Wiener Modell mit deutscher Bohrung, für gängigen Mundstücke mit deutscher Bohrung geeignet.
General überholt mit neuen Polstern.
Pads have just been replaced with white leather MusicMedic Roo pads and a few selected pads were replaced with Valentino pads of the correct thickness for optimal seating. Carefully adjusted and plays very well.
One original barrel (58 mm) is included and provides tuning around A443. Using the 2 mm spacer can bring down the tuning well but not entirely comfortably to 440.
Although this has the correct keywork and looks like a typical " Wiener Klarinette" , it actually has a narrower 15.0 mm German bore, which is important to know for mouthpiece selection. Just use a standard German bore mouthpiece.
It is a fun instrument to play, with a round, lively and pleasant tone, excellent ergonomics.
It has left F and Eb keys and A-Ab throat keys are articulated.
Mit F-und Es- Heber, A-As Verbindung.
I purchased this for 1750€ from Germany a few years ago. I have completely refurbished it and offer it at a very reasonable price.
Please message me with any questions or if a mouthpiece is required.
No returns.
