Subj: where to get info on old clarinet?
Date: Mon, 13 Mar 1995 17:16:59 -0500

Hi, folks,
I just picked up an old clarinet in an antique shop. I suspect
it isn't worth much (but it was cheap anyway). I picked it up mainly out
of curiosity and because I love clarinet (don't play -- yet! -- but
I play several other instruments). I'm interested in getting
information on it. (Yes, yes, I know, fingerings have changed, so
it may not even be playable by most people).
The maker is Jean Marbeau, Paris.
Does anyone know anything about this maker? Can anyone suggest
a local shop where I could have someone take a look at it? I assume it
would at least need an overhaul if it's worth investing in.
Your help & expertise are much appreciated.

-Doug
