Holton clarinets?

Author: moeboy

I recently required another clarinet by means of flea market. It is a single body construction silver clarinet, prolly in the key of Bb. Missing a case, adapter for mouthpiece and said mouthpiece. The imprinting was hard to make out. Looks kinda like it says made by Holton. Anyone have any ideas as to the history and so on and so forth. Clarinet is tarnished a little, nothing majorly wrong, looks to be all in tackt. Two numbers, one on top is 15688, one on bottom is 490. Got it for 10 bucks.

also, can anyone give me some input on where and how to go about getting the adapter and the case?

thanks

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Holton acquired by LeBlanc. It was a small family owned store/factory thingy and at one time made woodwinds and brass I think. They now make brass instruments (very nice trombones by the way...). Will conduct some research and get back to you if I find anything...
