 Buffet - Carl Fisher Clarinet Specs and Prices

For those who are interested in clarinet history, I just picked up a Carl Fischer Woodwind Catalog circa 1925 that has some really interesting info both on Fischer instruments but also Buffet clarinets, saxophones, and oboes; Heckel bassoons, Loree oboes

Buffet clarinets
Albert system wood $80-120
Metal $95
Boehm system wood $125-170 top end is full Boehm, both one piece bodies and split
metal $140 -185 top end is a full Boehm
Looks like many of them, including the metal full Boehm were available in Bb, A, and C.

And lastly there is described a "Jazz Clarinet" branded Carl Fischer that it really interesting. A plateau key Albert system clarinet for sax players. Price $150 in Bb only. I'd love to find one of THOSE on eBay!

If you're interested in the other instruments let me know and I can post the data on them as well.

Congrats! You have found a real jewel! Do they say anything about Penzel-Mueller, Selmer and/or Pruefer full Boehms? Thanx, Don

Sorry, Don. Nothing on PM, Selmer, or Pruefer.
