Here are some pix (I hope) of the Robert Durand instrument that I'm trying to find out about.
I have now been able to see the instrument.
The case is embossed with gold foil lettering "Michigan High School band".
The serial number of the instrument is T582.
It is in poor condition really and has a crack in the wood of the lower joint from the joint to the F# keyhole.
There is no provision for a support peg; there is none provided and there is no provision for one in it's case. There is a ring to accommodate a neck strap.
I have decided not to pursue this instrument any further with the view to purchase; but it would be good to discover a little more about it.
The markings in the pix are the only visible markings on the instrument. Any help in throwing light on the history of this instrument would be appreciated.
Cheers
