And again, to the list, I have a Sterling Silver King clarinet (100%
silver) that I would be interested in selling. However, I am only taking
serious bids.......I put it up last summer, and was offered$200-300 for
it. The silver alone is worth more.....but it is a valuable instrument.

Please email me privately if you are interested.
