Looking for Eb and A Sop.

Does anyone in the US have a used Eb or A Sopranno? It can be synthetic or wood. It can have no cracks or repaired cracks. Prefer Leblanc, Selmer, and BC. It does not need a mouthpiece. I would appreciate pictures or even a video link to You Tube or something of the likes.

Did you look at eBay? I see quite a few there.

Yes, but I don't know if I can trust Ebay for these types of purchases.

Lots of Bundy Ebs come up on eBay. They're built like tanks. As long as they're not smashed, they can be rehabilitated.

Clarinets in A come up only rarely and go for high prices. It's probably better to go through a dealer.

Or did you mean an Ab sopranino, a 4th higher than the Eb? I've seen only one of them come up over many years. I've had a chance to buy several, but I couldn't get my fingers on any of them. It's an extremely specialized instrument, appearing perhaps only in ancient Italian editions of band music, and the part is always doubled in the Eb clarinet and flute or piccolo parts.

I have an r13 Buffet A Clarinet that is pretty much in new condition. I'm at home on break from school but I can send you some pictures when I get back on the 12th if you are interested.
