Hello all,
Long time reader of this board with lots of information learned over the years. This time, a Google search didn't help me.
Sometime ago, I came across a Buescher True Tone Bb Clarinet at a thrift store in town. I had it re-corked and re-padded and the instrument actually plays nicely. Apart from low-C and the 12th up "G" playing 30 cents flat. Almost as if the first tone hole on the lower joint is cut incorrectly.
Aside from its playing, I have not been able to find a clarinet like this anywhere on the internet. It has a full wooden body with metal capped tenons on both joints. It's in the Boehm system and only features the Buescher True Tone logo on the bell. Also, from research of serial numbers online, it "appears" to be from the 1910's.
Has anyone ever seen one of these instruments? Any insight would be most helpful!
