 GM Bundy Bass info
Author: bflatmichael

Hello all,
I've recently acquired an older wooden GM Bundy "sponsored by Selmer"
bass clarinet ser # 324 and am unsuccessfully trying to find out any info on manufactured date or anything else about it or it's value. It plays to low E, not Eb. The keys are dull grey in color and polish up nicely so I think they are not plated. The tan pads have rivets. I don't believe it originally had peg holders, but they were added at some later date. Can anyone tell me anything about this horn? Or point me to any websites with info. I've been searching on the Internet, but can't seem to find out much.
Thanks for any responses

Mike - I cant offer much help, but my acquaintance with a 1930's G M Bundy soprano cl was [for me] quite good. I believe this "marque-mark" was used when GMB was establishing Selmer in the USA, this history is in the archives here. However many improvements have been made in the decades since then, so its an "old" horn! Play and compare. Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
