Vintage Clarinet-FERNAND CHAPWLAIN-1890-1917-France-parts-not working

Description

Up for consideration is a vintage clarinet from La Couture Boussey in Northern France. This Clainet was made by Fernand Chapelain & Cie. Circa 1890-1917. This clarinet needs to be restored. It does not play. Everything looks in good condition. The wood is beautiful. Perhaps "grenadilla" or "ebony"...................The locks on the case sticks. This came out of an elderly architect who passed away of old age. This was probably from his youth. This clarinet probably sat around for 50 years. The cork has shrunk and needs to be replaced. No cracks in the wood sections . The metal needs to be polished. Probably will have a great sound with this very seasoned wood. Kept in a mild California climate North of San Francisco.
