    Description

    We don't have a good amount of information on this clarinet. The previous owner said it was in the same condition back in 1914 as it is now. The keys appear to be all there, some are still somewhat functional while others are stuck. One of the keys appears to be broken, but I think it is just the way it was designed to actuate the key. The entire thing needs cleaning and restoring. There is a place where "Bb" is stamped on the side, I believe this indicates the natural key of the instrument, but it could be something else. There is a makers mark on the side, I think it says: Genuine HAE Wood JWJ GMC Kansas City. Maybe you can see from the photo.
