DuPre A Clarinet

Author: BillC

About 30 years ago, when I had little money, I was looking for an A clarinet and found an old Paul DuPre hanging in a display case in a small instrument store. I bought it for $100 and used it for several years. I always had trouble with it but couldn't afford to buy anything else. Eventually I bought a used Buffet A clarinet from a friend and have been using it ever since. I'm wondering whether it is worthwhile to have the old DuPre overhauled as a backup instrument when my Buffet is being repaired. The DuPre would need a complete overhaul. Does anyone know anything about DuPre clarinets? Is it likely to be worth the money to have it put into playable condition?
