Re: Plastic Normandy model 11 ?

Perry, you have a model 14. This came in at least two versions--the early ones had RESO-TONE on the upper joint in block letters, while the later ones were marked Reso-Tone in italic script.

The Model 11 was an earlier instrument, and was made in France, rather than the USA. They have offset trill keys rather than the inline "jump" keys found on the Model 14, and lack the headless pivot screws found on later generations of Noblet clarinets. The Model 11 clarinets that I own and have examined all have unplated Maillechort keywork, while the model 14 came with bright nickel plating on the keys.
