It's an entry level wooden clarinet, the same as the Lafleur and B&H 400. They were distributed through Rosetti who also distributed Vandoren, so the better quality mouthpiece and accessories were supplied with some for a slightly higher price compared to the bog standard Corton which came with a standard Amati mouthpiece.
Sapphire as a brand name in its own right in the '80s (can't remember the distributor who used this name - maybe it was Rosetti as well) was also stencilled on Taiwanese flutes and clarinets which were also near identical instruments (apart from some minor cosmetic changes) to the Trevor James TJ10 flute, contrary to what Trevor James directors said when they claimed they were made by their technicians (in Maidstone, Kent) and the James&Young/Artemis clarinet - the 'Young' in James&Young being an Anglicised form of Yang, with Yang the Taiwanese side of Trevor James/James&Young.
