First you need to establish the reason for the appraisal.

For insurance purposes, the appraisal should be on the high side as if you ever had to replace it in an emergency situation, you wouldn't have time to look around for a good buy.

If you are looking to sell it, appraisals are really a problem. There is the value that a music store will sell it for. There is the value that they would buy it from you. There is the value that they would allow on a trade in. There is the value that you might be able to get if you advertised it for sale yourself. Then there is the value that you could get at a yard sale or an auction or an estate sale or a pawn shop or an online auction and so on. All these values are different and they are radically different.

What brand and model clarinet is it and what is it's age?
