Up for auction today is a Karl Hammerschmidt "Klingson" Model German-system Bb clarinet. Karl Hammerschmidt & Söhne is a traditional German woodwind instrument manufacturer famous for its high-quality "Klingson" clarinet line. Founded in 1873, the workshop relies on seasoned aged Grenadilla wood and hand-crafted nickel-silver keywork. Based out of Burgau, Germany, they are highly regarded for their warm, resonant tone and flexible configurations. Because they are elite, hand-finished instruments, new models are relatively rare and expensive!

Included: No barrel or mouthpiece is included. The case as pictured is in poor condition. Shipment: The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by Deutsche Post (DHL) with tracking.
