Thanks in advance. Photo 3rd post (I had trouble uploading pics). I was hoping someone here could look at the keywork and be able to tell who made it. Wooden Pichard Artist Model. Nice looking clarinet. I think it has potential, but needs to be refurbished.

OK, here's one photo. Pichard Paris Artist Model. It looks like all the pads on the upper joint might be the same size and artifacts in the case (reed sleeve, cork grease) suggest 50's to early 60's in age. Yellowish steel springs.

That's one of many Malerne stencils.
It would be good to compile a list of all known Malerne stencils - I bet it will stretch from the earth to the moon and back again.

Thank you Chris. Malerne then. It has a good tone IMO. It plays some, but needs new pads. Original mouthpiece but it might be plastic instead of hard rubber.

I wonder how many clarinets Malerne produced on a yearly basis when they were at their height?
I think I've only ever seen two that were actually engraved as R. Malerne (a Bb and a bass) as all others I've seen have been stencils.
