Old, silver clarinet?

Author: Rachel  Date:   1999-03-23 21:25 I have an instrument that I THINK is a clarinet. It is old, and silver or silver-plated. It is narrower than the clarinets I've seen, which is what initially led me to believe that it was not a clarinet but perhaps a soprano saxophone. However, looking at the key structure, it really does bear more in common with clarinets. It is open-holed, with a trademark at the bottom: EMB Classic American. I don't imagine it's worth much of anything monetarily, and that's OK with me since I'll keep it as a decorative touch on top of my piano. But I'm curious about its narrowness -- does anyone know anything about this? Instead of going straight down from the mouthpiece like the ordinary clarinets I've seen, it narrows to about two-thirds of the breadth of the mouthpiece. Ordinary common-stock black band clarinets are "soprano" clarinets, aren't they? Any input would be appreciated. Rachel who has never played the clarinet before, only the flute, the piano, and the tenor saxophone
