I have a old wooden clarinet and can not find any info on it. Can someone please help.
It's a Berthold Speyer A #3122. If you can please e-mail me.

There was a Berthold family in Speyer and Stuttgart, Germany: George and his sons, and his brother Heinrich, who were instrument manufacturers. Since we don't have any other identifying marks on the clarinet, it could be from any of them. That would date it from between 1849 and 1937, the years spanned by the brothers and the sons.
