Corton sapphire

Author: toffeeman3

I just bought a Corton Sapphire clarinet on e bay for £21 It came with a Vandoren mouthpiece,cap and ligature so it was a bargain! Not expecting much from the instrument I was pleaseantly surprised.
I had read it was a Czech made model of wood with an ebonite bell. I want to confirm this as there appers to be grain on the body apart from the bell which has grain on the exterior but is plastic on the inside.Is this possible? It does not look like ebonite as this has a green/black appearance.
The instrument reminds me very much of a similar age Evette I bought but if anything it is better.

Does anybody have any more knowledge about it?
The other thing is that the Vandoren ligature seems to be left handed i.e. the screws enter from the left. I was wondering if it is moent to have the screws at the back because there are two ridges wich lok like they may be meant to sit on the reed

Thanks
