Good advice, Jeff and Bob, If I had found a little jewel like this [I believe simple/Albert system C's are few and hard to find] I'd hasten to assess the repair problems and costs, and do what repairs I could and find a sympathetic tech to at least seal the barrel and bell cracks, since replacements would be nearly impossible. When finished and played to my satisfaction, I'd consider giving it to one of several musical museums, perhaps claiming a donation on my 2009 tax return ?? You might ask this same question on the Early Clarinet Yahoo site re: value. Luck, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
