I have a F. Barbier C clarinet that I bought recently from a friend who was
selling her instruments off. It's all wood and old enough to have a
wrap-around register key. Plays nicely and better in tune than the more
modern ones I've tried (or own). Do you know what player market these were
made for?

The Barbier I was working on was almost a dead ringer
for an early Bundy. The heritage was clear. It had a wood body but
composition bell and barrel. My own wood Bundy is wood throughout -
the fancy model!
