it is a Leblanc clarinet in A
almost all keys are in bad shape: bent keys,
the metal turns 'green', and some keys can move upwards and downwards
(i think it has never been treated with key oil)
but the body is still good (i assume), i found no cracks

i just wonder if buying a new one is cheaper than fixing this old one

actually i found this instrument in my grandfather's old stuff
there's also an old oboe +ACI-Heckel Blebrich+ACI- (made in germany), also in bad
condition
but i assume overhauling an oboe is much more expensive than overhauling
clarinet
because it has a much complicated keys

+AD4-The keys can be re-worked and so can the body. But this depends on what
+AD4-brand and model you have. The repair or restoration may cost more than
the
+AD4-clarinet is worth. If you would like to call me toll free please do at
