Help identifying clarinet maker?

Author: bbrandha

I am teaching myself to do basic clarinet repair and then giving the clarinets to school music programs. This is one of the clarinets I got. I've replaced a few pads, most of the corks, and fixed some leaks. It plays decently and will soon got to a new home.

It is stamped Pierre Maure. The searches I've done only have Maure wooden clarinets and this one is Grenetex or some such. The upper joint is lined with metal.

I believe what you have their is a stencil Malerne standard model, probably from late forties or fifties. The keywork could definitely be Malerne (or Couesnon, or Martin Freres or etc...) but th emetal UJ lining is a good clue. Does it have a serial number?

I think the serial number is B18078. The B is much larger than the numbers. It is stamped on both sections, but is very hard to read.
