Hello,
A dear friend of mine gave this clarinet to me. I was wondering if anyone has any information on this instrument. It also has Brevette Paris and a tower from a castle stamped on it.
Any information would be helpful.

I own a Triebert Bb clarinet, wooden. purchased in New York for me in 1948. It says
on the barrel TRIEBERT A PARIS (in capital letters) the A Paris underneath the name. The upper part (left hand joint) also has same marking as well as the bell. The bell does not have A Paris. I tried to get info on the horn but no one really had any data on it. They said it was a "stencil" brand. Mine does not have the markings you indicated. I had it refurbished and it plays very nicely. My teacher said it has excellent tone and the action was very acceptible.
Stuart.

Stencil means that it was made by one company under contract to a distributer and the distributers name was put on it. For example, you can find clarinets stenciled "Sears" but Sears never manufactured clarinets.
The fact that it is actually marked LP (Low Pitch, which is the same as our current standard) would indicated that it was made sometime between the 1890s and 1930s. Before and after this period, clarinets were not marked with LP or HP (High Pitch).

Hi!
I also have a Triebert Bb clarinet which I overhauled. It plays very well and I would use it anywhere. However, after playing it a while, I conclude that I prefer my Buffet R13 and would categorize the Triebert as an intermediate level instrument. Tribert is the name of the oboe company that defined the modern oboe.
