My dad found a really old ironwood clarinet (made in France) at an estate sale. He wants me to come by and look at it. He was wondering what it might be worth, since they haven't been made in something like 50 years.
Anybody have any idea?
Given the information provided, no. Odds are fair it's a Buffet Crampon. Wood clarinets crack, and attachment points weaken. Take it to a retailer who sells clarinets or a craftsman who repairs them. It is extremely easy for neglected clarinets to become firewood.
Much of the time, people think something that's old must be valuable. Most of the time it's not.
So how much do you think you are worth, boy ?I am to valuable
Yeah. Their C is my Bb. Or the other way around. And when used to double the part of an alto sax, they're awesome.Anybody know anything about clarinets?
