I own a Paul Dupre "Conservatoire" Clarinet. It is either made of wood or some type of hard rubber, nickle silver keys, no serial number. The case looks like a 1930's to early 1940's. The instrument has a fine sound. I have been searching the net for quite a while without any success. I'd like to find information on this model and brand also any possible value. One of the octogenerians in my concert band told me that Paul Dupre was originally a mouthpiece maker in Paris France before WW II that made a few clarinets. I have also seen a Bass Clarinet of this brand. There have been a few references to other woodwinds than clarinets. This instrument has been a mystery. If you have any information I'd appreciate it. Thank you. Mark.

Do a search here on the BBoard for dupre and you'll glean the little that's already known.
