 La Margue Clarinet
Author: shannon

I used to play the clarinet when I was younger. A very good friend of mine knew I used to play. She found an old clarinet and bought it for me. I want to go and get it serviced, and buy a new mouthpiece. The clarinet is a La Margue from Paris. I have tried to find out as much as I could about this clarinet, to no avail. Please help.

A quick search here shows that La Marque/La Margue has been asked about before, with no real information available.

There were many "stecil" clarinets imported over the last century or so - clarinets that were made for music companies and resold under a number of different names. Most of the time the real maker's identity is lost.

Mark's comments are correct, that is prob. its ancestry, made by a smaller French maker and sold by music stores prob. at lower price than the major makers. I had one, maybe via a trade?, made it playable, fair but not great, gave it to my CA son/grandson, saw it last fall, not played much. Get a "fair" mouthpiece, try a "student" model by Hite or Fobes, who might give you some advice. It should be reasonably good, at least for a while. Luck, Don
