Subj: [kl] Moennig Metal Bass Clarinet
Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2004 17:50:51 -0500

A friend of mine has a metal bass clarinet. It is a 5 piece - though it is
in a three piece case. The bell is stamped 'Moennig Brothers - Artist
Model - Silvertone' the body has serial number 19259 and Germany stamped
into both upper and lower sections. I know little of Moennig brands. It is
apparently fairly old. It has a new case, and a recent repad/tightening up.
It play ok. Probably good enough for a student level performer. I think it
could be improved with some work, but I am not the one to do it.

My friend is interested in selling it - probably on ebay. Any information
you could offer from your vast knowledge will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Steve White
