Hello Nancy,

I didn't pull anything outstanding from the attic, just my clarinet from
school days (long, long ago) and one of my sisters' clarinets.

The plastic one is a Pruefer, Ultima series. I can't read the mouthpiece.

The wooden one has "A Robert" and then "Ari" under it on the mouthpiece. I
don't know if this is the original mouthpiece of the wooden one. There is
some type of serial number on the wooden one - "2525" and then a "69404".
Does this ring a bell to anyone?

Reeds are Rico (all broken ones, ha) and Roy Maser

Does anyone have an estimate what the cost would be in the U.S. to have a
clarinet reconditioned and new pads put on?

Regards and thanks,
Laine
