I have a very old clarinet with the 13 key fingering system. It is made of mahogany, even has a wood mouthpiece. It still has some of the "original" leather pads. on the barrel, it has

L P
B

"France"

engraved on it. I have no idea who made it, or how old it is. If you know anything at all about it, e-mail me at NDrum2001@hotmail.com

LP means Low Pitch (same as our modern pitch)
B means built in the key of Bb.

The fact that it is actually marked LP probably puts it somewhere between 1890 and 1930 give or take a few years.
