>>Vic & list,

>>Thanks for the link to your clarinet pages. What a great website showing
>>your instruments Vic, great pictures, thanks for sharing it with us!

>> I'm also in the process of trying to restore an old Henry Gunckel Boehm
>>clarinet I found on eBay.
>>This one also needs a lot of attention to make it playable again.
>>It does not has the wraparound register key, but it has the 'black dots'
>>spring securing screws, only on the A, Ab, C#/G# and register keys of the
>>upper part, not on the lower part keys.
>>
>>No idea how old it is, the barely visible serial nr. on both body parts,
>>is
>>22556 and to my surprise it's marked 'Made in Italy' (?) and not 'Made in
>>France' like yours.
>>The logo has the name 'Henry Gunckel' in an oval with sort of trumpet
>>between 'Henry and Gunckel'.
>>The barrel seems not original, it has a different logo and the rings are
>>also different from the ring on the lower part.
>>
>>I appreciate it when somebody can tell me more about Henry Gunckel and how
>>old this clarinet is.
>>
>>
>>All the best,
