Dear Don,

there isn't any engraving or serial number on the neck, so I don't know if it is the original one; on the other hand also the bell has no signs. As I wrote previously, I believe that many vintage alto clarinets are high pitched instruments... I noticed that the intonation of this instrument is quite consistent though all the registers, but almost a quarter tone sharp than the regular (440/442). I tried to pull off the mouthpiece of 0.5 cm: the tuning become better, but the chalumeaux notes (G#, A, Bb) become obviously flat :-/
