 Please help identify this clarinet
Author: themaharishi

I just purchased an old clarinet at a flea market. The only markings on it is a baseball (at least, it looks like a baseball, stitchings and all) with the words "all american made" wriiten in it. This mark is on the bell, which is sterling silver, and the rest of the horn is either silver plate or nickle.

thanks

Sounds like the Louisville "Slugger" model A# clarinet, made by the Louisville Instrument Company of Cooperstown, NY around 1733.

Dave - I'm afraid your ?home run? just went foul ! This seems like another grounder for Jim Lande to catch, likely for an out re: sterling?? and ancestral-playability. Unknown to me, value? low. Don

Thanx, Mark, Don

The 'Antiques Roadshow' priceless "Ground OUT double"; suitable for playing in a Thrash metal group.

I beg to differ about the tuning in A-sharp.

It is definitely in the key of Fleeve-natural.

I had no IDEA clarinet players had such MARVELOUS senses of humor. You kids sure weren't this quippy in high school band (did third chairs ever get to talk though?). Coupled with baseball knowledge has created such a witty banter that....yes, i am sure now. I laughed so hard a small amount of diarrhea has just tricked into my pants. You will all pardon me while i change in the most dignified manor that i can muster.

Oh, one more thing: blow it out your horns!

I hope, along with our "jocularity", [it is approaching "World" Series time in the US and your baseball description pitched it to us!!], that we have given you the nearly-no info we have. Some time back, Jim Lande did thread-post a comprehensive list of metal clarinet names, so if you can't find it, ask GBK to help. He will prob. contribute a bit of humor also !! Don

Thanx, Mark, Don

"All American Made" read the horn.
On the front the logo did adorn.
It doesn't ring a bell,
Not in my lone brain cell.
A U.S.A import reborn? ...GBK
