Description:
Bass clarinet that descends to low C, tuned in Bb, a collector’s item!! Made during the Cold War era in former Czechoslovakia between 1955 and 1965. Professional model; they were not mass-produced. Made by the Ligna company. Crafted from grenadilla wood, which is in perfect condition. The bell has a diameter of 13 cm, and the fully assembled clarinet measures 121 cm. In excellent condition, with nickel keys in excellent condition. No cracks or splits in the wood, and no breaks. No dents in the metal. No functional issues; it may need a minor overall mechanism adjustment by a repair technician and some pads replaced. The only one for sale in the world. The last bass clarinet of this model was sold a few years ago under the Amati brand for £4,500. Great, beautiful, very woody sound, with lovely low notes; a better sound than today’s bass clarinets. Includes a BG Paris absorbent cleaning cloth as a gift, as well as an excellent, very convenient Bags case.
Those in the know will appreciate this instrument.
