Hey, I know there is someone out there who can tell me about Casal wood clarinet. Every piece marked Casal Paris. Nice leather case. I need to replace pads and cork before I know what it sounds like. Extremely low Double digit serial number. Thanks for any input.

The only relationship I can think of would be to Pablo CasalS, born in Spain, but was the principal cellist in the Paris Opera Orchestra for a number of years, quite famous. He died in 1973. So, I tend to believe that your cl has a "stencilled" name, that, is made by an unknown maker and given a Good French name for [likely] sale in the US. Others, please help. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Well, it is stamped Casals Paris on every piece, including bell and barrel. On the bottom side of one fo the keys is etched "Aug.'65", however, I don't know if this is date of manufacture or date of replating. It looks like it's been silver plated. Serial number on both upper and lower joints is 40.
