This ex-demonstration model nickel-plated 17 keyed C clarinet is a free blowing well tuned example of the C clarinet with Leblanc style key work also found on Ridenour clarinets. It has a robust build with in-line jump trill keys and all the same acoustical features as our other hard rubber clarinets and is offered for sale by The Clarinet Company as a one-off bargain.
It does have slight wear on a ring key and one or two other keys but this is very slight and is purely cosmetic due to being tried and used by us as a demonstration model.
It was originally part of our stock bought in some years ago but nowadays is a different design from our Sonoro SM offerings, hence we are advertising it as a one-off. It plays beautifully and has been set up and thoroughly tested by me, Les Craven and fettled and matched to barrels to play extremely well in tune. This clarinet will do someone a real favour whether or not the extras are taken. If the buyer does not have the funds for the extras right now we will honour the price for the extras should they at a later date decide to add them.
This is a genuine bargain and anyone looking for fantastic value would do well to snap this one up - there is only one so when it’s gone, it will not be repeated.
Our previous special offer C clarinet, a prototype, was taken by a lady (Kelly) who posted us a fantastic review about it. This Leblanc-style instrument is an honest reduction based on the time we have had the instrument, not because it is inferior in any way, on the contrary it is a tried and tested design played by many professional players.
If taken with the all-inclusive Total Package the new owner will have a totally professional outfit with all the extras for less than the price of one of our latest new C clarinets which demonstrates our ethos to give players a chance to afford a great clarinet at fair pricing, hand-finished and tuned by Leslie Craven. Free postage to UK is standard with a week trial but if the clarinet is sent back postage both ways (around £20) will be deducted from the refund to cover our re-stocking costs.
Total package with all custom extras £799
Add a custom barrel and bell and Craven Sonoro mouthpiece and Silverstein Quattro ligature for just an extra £249 - excellent value. (if bought separately the custom extras would cost over £500, the wooden barrel and bell are over £245 normally so to get the pro mouthpiece and Silverstein ligature makes a great package deal)
