Value of clarinette

Author: Rudy

Hello everyone,

I hope someone here can help me.
I have an Amati clarinet complete with nice case etc. I don't know what model number as there is nothing stamped on.

Does anyone have a rough idea how much it's worth.
Thanks in advance.

is there a sticker on the case somewhere with a model number?
First we need to know if it is a Bb, A, Eb, or C clarinet?
Then you can search ebay completed listings for sold Amati's for a rough idea.

I have to ask - do you play, or are you a pawn shop employee or something?

Hi Paul,

Thank you for you reply. I don't play clarinet(I play guitar) and I am not a pawn shop employee either. I bought it at a car boot sale. Probably called a yard or garage sale in the US.

I have just checked the case and there is nothing at all on it.

They're not of great value - only a beginner level wooden clarinet with an ebonite bell. I think they're Amati 300 series, but nothing special.

B&H 400 clarinets were the same thing as were Corton and Lafleur before that - all made by Amati.
