Description from the seller

Hello clarinetists or aspiring ones. I have been testing this cannon that withstands everything you can blow and more. I have restored it completely with the incorporation of a bell from its same era of the Conn Pan American brand since the original could not continue with it. Well, I’ll proceed to describe the jewel in question.... it bears "L,fayette" on the upper reed, which is metal plated in ebony (composite) of the era. It was intended for aesthetic use in closed spaces—a clarinet that gave the presence of a Boehm of ebony common, and it was sought to have the power and total brilliance for the dizzi land, as were the metal ones more used outdoors in those romantic and bohemian-purposed times. This hybrid prototype dates from around the mid-1930s and was engineered by the British firm Olds & Sond, which tested it in their Ambassador model, which I had the pleasure of owning and which was also of a power that resembles American metal clarinets. It has all the Buffet pads (in my view the best natural skin pads, after having restored hundreds of clarinets and not making comparisons with other brands)). In terms of springs it is sublime, all the keys close with great precision, evident in its adjustment. Well, it sounds perfect, but I like to explain the details thoroughly. In practice, I just tested it and I guarantee that whatever mouthpiece you have, you will be blown away by the power, intonation, and adjustment (the latter, adjustment on my clarinets is my handicap) in this hybrid. If I can guarantee it as a musical style, I would personally use it in street music, blues/Jazz stages, new music in general and, of course, perfectly responsive 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 some high-end gear you meet all needs. We ship it in a white-label case (brand-new) for its new destination. Good luck to all aspirants with the bid.
