Old clarinets

Author: Joe W

Hello,
When cleaning out my childhood home when my mother decided to move to a smaller place, I found two old clarinets, one of which I had played in elementary and junior high school in the late 1950s and early 1960s. One is an Artley 18s. There is a very faint number on the upper end of the lower joint that looks like 6032 or 6082. The other is marked "Supertone" on the barrel, the upper joint and the bell. Both the upper and lower joints are marked with the number "4103 Made in Italy" at the lower end. I'd like to have one or both reconditioned and would like to know if they are worth the cost. From what I have read about the Artleys, they are plastic and mostly made after 1971, which would make me believe that I played the Supertone, since I had quit playing by 1965. However, I have not been able to find much information on the Supertone. Can anyone enlighten me on these instruments and whether it is worth reconditioning them? All of the keys seem to be intact and functional on both.
Thanks.
