I came across a metal clarinet a few months ago and I really started tinkering with it lately and found it to be very interesting.
I was not in the market for a metal clarinet however the person had a Getzen cornet and three of these metal clarinets a soloest and a conn and this one a french made one that by the way looks outstanding and plays out standing it is almost hard for me to believe it's tone and condition.
Now, what I do know. the case shows me that this is made after the 60's and not later then the mid 70's.
I have looked all over and found that Noblet stop making these in 1962???
well I am a bit puzzled I have been told that these Noblets had a four diget serial number to them and this one does however it seems more like letters to me and could be a European way of ID numbers see the first two are z and the last one is z so this could be sevens however the bottom of the numbers go under the bell ring, does anyone know this is possible?
I really like this horn and the more I play it the more I am completely fascinated by it I've even dared to use it in the orchestra the other night with no complaints, just compliments.
I never thought of bothering with these instruments strictly Lelanc, Selmer and Buffet.
If anyone can help me with this puzzle I would be most appreciative.
Thank you
