Metal clarinets were in production from 1895-1965 with the majority being
made between 1924-1939 for the American market. Attempts to make a metal

were apparently useless experiments. The Rampone design was put forward by
Conn with considerable success.....

I believe my research turned up that they weren't produced until well after
the civil war, like 1890-1900's. But that's from memory, and I did only the
most cursory of searches.
