The Clarinet BBoard

Re: V. Kohlert's Sons Eb Sopranino, Graslitz

Author: js-fin  Date:   2003-12-29 16:15 I have also hanging around a "V. Kohlert's Sons" Bflat clarinette. I haven't played it (cause I'm a guitarist, only tried it out and it seems to be in good (well... somewhat working) condition. I found it a couple of years ago in an auction and bought it for 5 euros. Sure is worth that The tone is dark, mellow. Quite jazzy, I think - suits me. The pads are in need of a quick replace, because they're hard as rock and leak like mad. The mouthpiece is okay, the ...whattheheckwasitcalled (metal bind that binds the reed to the mouthpiece) looks like brand new. The instrument is quite dirty and needs cleaning, and therefore it was difficult to see the markings, but after slightly rubbing a while and after that looking with a looking glass I saw the following markings: V. Kohlert's Sons Kraslice Bb Made in Czechoslovakia 306436 Based on what I've read and heard it would be of those 'just-after-the-war'-instruments, but the real question is, whether it's worth repadding, respringing and filling a small ding near the thumbrest or should i just leave it doing hanging around some more. I can't post any pics because I haven't got a digital camera nor a scanner, but the airholes are clean, seem to be quite okay, and the mechanism mostly works. It doesn't have any worse marks of wear and tear, except of being extremely dirty - coated with something sticky origin of which I wouldn't care to know - and the small ding on the backside. I'm going to see a instrument repairman tomorrow, but would still appreciate your opinions and comments while pondering with the question - is it worth it? -JS And yeah, I'm willing to learn to play it. Just in case you wondered
