Re: Pre-1900 Eb Buffet Clarinet query

Thanks again for adding to this with further comments/suggestions

Jeroen - If I was to ask them to measure it then versus a modern Eb clarinet do you know what a standard length would be (I'm guessing it should still be obvious if it is an HP regardless of the variation in barrel lengths between modern models). All the seller was able to tell me when ask them to check for markings was "Afraid I can't find the markings, it's quite old. However, I did play it with some local concert bands and we tuned to 441 and it sounded fine"...

Donald - unfortunately no this clarinet is in Canada! But yes I am in NZ, currently reside right down the bottom in Southland. My primary reasons for wanting one is for chamber work & for musical theatre shows (playing for Mary Poppins in July so was hoping to find something of my own before then rather than having to try hunt down one to borrow/hire again).
