Has anyone heard of a William Norenbeyer clarinet, chrome, made in Germany? How about a Rene Duvel? A search revealed nothing, so I need some advice. These are antique clarinets. Thanks for any insight.

Hi Cindy
I have no idea about the clarinets, but I have sent you an email address of a person you might try and cold call to see if they can help.
When I was wondering around Paris earlier this year I came across a specialist shop that was an Aladdin's Cave of antique woodwind instruments. The owner was charming and very knowledgeable. I have emailed you his email address from his business card (not sure of the ethics of posting it here)
You could give him a try as I am guessing "Rene Duvel" is a name that if anyone knows anything of, he does! Nothing ventured nothing gained.....

It's Rene Duval (no relation to Shelley Duvall who was Wendy in 'The Shining').

The opinions I express are my own.

William Nuremberger -- a student-quality clarinet (I've had two)
Rene Duval -- ditto.
Both made probably 1940s-50s, so not all that old (in clarinet years).
