Yuck is right. It looks like nobody washed that mouthpiece since Truman was
President. In a way that's good, though. The corks are very bad, etc. which
means no ignoramus went messing with this clarinet trying to make it look
good to sell it. Sometimes those amateur fix-ups do more harm than good, so
in a way I would rather see it "as is" like this. They need to tell what
brand it is, though. That clarinet has the old style wrap around register
key and old looking case. Maybe it is a good "vintage" clarinet or maybe it
is old junk, who knows -- not enough information.
