Subj: E-flat clarinet for sale!
Date: Thu, 1 May 1997 10:17:25 -0400

I came across an E-flat clarinet last weekend which is for sale, from a
gentleman in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

It is a Noblet wooden clarinet, serial number A43725. It was
manufactured in 1972. The seller is E. Robert Case, call him at
715-341-6551 for more information. No cracks.

He is asking an honest $600, with the understanding that you are buying
it "as is." From what I see, you will need to get a complete repad on
the instrument, as most of the skins on the pads are torn. This isn't
the type of thing where you can "get by" on for a few months before the
repairs. . .

>From my 10 mins. of playing on it, I would say it is pretty well in tune,
including in the upper register.
