 Conn-Pan American 58N in ebonite
Author: Ursa

I just picked up a clean, low-mileage Pan American 58N ebonite clarinet from a thrift store. It needs an overhaul, but it's functional enough as is for a test play. I quite like the feel of the horn, as well as what I'm hearing from it. It should be a nice stablemate for my beloved Lyrique.

Are there any caveats to be aware of with the vintage Conn/Pan Am hard rubber horns? My 58N has sturdy nickel-silver keywork instead of the dreaded pot metal. Judging from the keyposts, oval logo, and other details, the 58N looks like a rebadged Conn, rather than a cheap entry-level Pan Am.

Also, my usual technician is currently unavailable. Are there any techs here accepting work and familiar with vintage Conns?
