La Fayette Paris - - B♭clarinet - 1960

Hello clarinetists or aspiring ones. I have been testing this cannon that can handle anything you can blow into it and more. I have restored it completely with the addition of a bell from its own era, branded Conn Panamericana, since the original could no longer continue with it. Well, I’ll go ahead and describe the jewel in question... it bears “L,fayette” on the upper joint, which is metal plated in ebony (composite) of the period. It was meant, for aesthetic purposes in closed spaces, to present a Boehm ebony clarinet, and it was sought to have the power and total brilliance for the Dizzyland, as were the metal ones most used outdoors generally in those romantic days designed for and by bohemia. This prototype of a hybrid dates to the mid-1930s approx., and it was engineering from the British house Olds & Sond that tested it in its Ambassador model, which I had the pleasure to own and which was also of a power that more closely resembled American metal clarinets. It has all Buffet pads (in my view the best natural bladder pads, after having restored hundreds of clarinets and not making comparisons with other brands). The springs are sublime; they close every single key with great precision that is evident in its adjustment. Well, it sounds perfect, but I like to explain the details. In practice, I’ve just tested it and I guarantee that whatever mouthpiece you have, you’re going to be blown away by the power, intonation, and adjustment (the latter—adjustment in my clarinets—is my handicap) in this hybrid. If I may guarantee it as a musical style, I would personally use it in street music, blues/jazz, new music in general and, of course, delivering perfectly, for any professional who wants to enjoy. And finally, if someone is looking for a clarinet to learn on, this is a professional-quality clarinet and it meets any need regardless of age or academic level. Or, in other words… with a touch of high-end, you reach all needs. We ship it in a white-label case “brand new” for its new destination. Good luck to all aspirants with the bid.
