Re: Worth the purchase?

To me, the mouthpiece may make it a very valuable purchase.

Many years ago, I bought an old clarinet off of an auction site only to find that I had inadvertently also purchased a Charles Bay mouthpiece.

I called up the Bay mouthpiece company and talked to Jonathan. He told me to send it to him and he would make it look like new again (which he did!).

He also told me that many people buy very old clarinets in hopes of finding a mouthpiece gem.

I'm intrigued by the bottom section logo of the mouthpiece.

I suspect this is possibly a professional horn with a valuable, expensive mouthpiece.

I recommend asking the seller to simply tell you the name of the mouthpiece. (A picture of it would actually be better.) Let us know...and then ask us again if the $30 purchase is worth it.
