Re: 1934 clarinet

I own several clarinets that go back to the late 1800's and early 1900's. I've restored them to playing condition and while I would not say that all of them are gems, certainly most of them have a higher build quality than many modern instruments. Some of them, such as a Jerome Thibouville Lamy from the late 1800's, a Cabart from the 1930's, a Couesnon Monopole from the 40's (?), a no-name Albert C clarinet from probably the 1920's and a Louis of Chelsea from around 1930 are really outstanding and compare favourably to modern instruments. What you can expect from your C clarinet will depend on the quality of of instrument, but there's no real reason why it couldn't be a good player.
