The keywork on tbhe upper joint looks a lot like an older Amati clarinet (Corton, Lafleur, B&H 400 etc.) - but they were Czechoslovakian and not Italian.
The keywork on the lower joint (that's made in Italy) isn't Amati, so it could be a hybrid - either the upper or lower joint has been swapped or replaced to make a complete clarinet. It could even be made up from four different instruments as none of the sections look like a whole - the bell is made of ebonite (although the older Amatis did usually have ebonite bells), the lower joint is Italian, the upper joint is Czechoslovakian and the barrel looks like a B&H Edgware.

My thoughts exactly (except from the barrel about which I didn't really ponder a lot)
That's the difference between such a clarinet and a mutt - the latter has only two parents, usually. ![[tongue]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie6.gif)
