I had just purchased a Selmer USA CL200 (c. 1990) for $40. It plays well and has no issues other than minor scratches.

How much is it actually worth?

Has it got gold lacquered keys as opposed to gold plated keys?

How does a person determine this? (I've never known.)

Thanks,

Gold plate is conductive, gold lacquer isn't. Make a simple circuit with a battery, a small bulb and two bits of wire to test it.

The gold keys on the clarinet conduct electricity.
