 Jean Montour?
Author: klook

Just had delivered an Ebay special, $15 shipped to my door, its an old grenadilla simple system clarinet marked "Jean Montour".

Can't find ANY info on this maker, probably a trade name.

The cool thing is.......its an A HP clarinet! What a find for the price. Should clean up just fine, the barrel has a crack and it needs a repad, but it has everything it needs, even the original wood mouthpiece!

But who made Jean Montour?

used as a trade name by Francois Jean Baptiste Martin who succeeded to ownership of Martin Freres in the 1880's. Can't find anything else on the name.
