Greetings oh Lovers of Singing Holy Black Tubes~
(holy as holes AND sacred!!)
I have a mystery bass clarinet I am hoping for some help identifying, and for advice as to whether I should have a lot of work done that it needs to become playable, or have the relatively small ammount of work done that the other bass I have needs. (A Linton Malerne)
The bass in question just says made in France, does have a double octave vent, (one on the neck, one on the body) but has no brand on it at all, and needs a lot of work. Main issues are it's missing a rod that holds the 3 upper keys for the lower joint, one of the keys has been oddly cut around the rim of the pad cup and will need repair, There is a 3 1/2" crack that is through the body but not open in the very top of the upper section. Needs full overhaul.
I can send photos if anyone is willing to take a look for the sake of i.d.
The Linton has mostly fresh pads and plays fairly well as is, but I don't think from what I've read here is as nice an instrument.
Thanks~
