A good friend asked me to check-out her [husband's] 17/_7 clarinet, # 710, which has a "G Langenus USA 5" [H R {slightly brown}] mp [in an oval] with G L--- in script up its back. Needs a pad or so and some adj's, will prob. play fairly well. I had prev. found that another friend's GMB [17/6] had only mediocre value and was puzzling a bit re: the Lang. mp. Any thots from our "old folks" . His alto sax, a Martin, # 118435, LP, model?? yCom-----ist [cant make this out!], any help apprecisted TKS, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

I have a restored G.M. Bundy-Paris clarinet which plays very well but, as Don mentions, has little market value. Curious, since it's basically a Henri Selmer "Brevettes S.D.G.D." model except for branding -- as far as I can tell it's identical in design and playing qualities to the other French Selmers of the 20/s-30s era. Probably the "George Bundy plastic student clarinet" stigma dragging down the value of the instrument.
