 L.Kolbe clarinet (I need help)
Author: Watercolzzz

Hi friends!
I recently purchased an old german clarinet without photo on the Internet
(reckless act))), the inscriptions on it read as
"L. Kolbe Altenburg B" on all parts.
Clarinet is in a bad condition and needs full overhaul (it's so expensive).
Does it make sense to do this?
Is it a good instrument, anyone knows about it?
I will be grateful for any information)

Hi,
Do you still have the Kolbe?

The New Langwills shows Louis Kolbe as being active in Altenburg between 1893 and 1930, and collaborating with Ernst Schmidt on the Schmidt-Kolbe reform Boehm clarinet. He also held a patent with R. Jordan on a new flute. Is your clarinet a Boehm?

Under (MIMO Louis Kolbe), UEDIN:4912 ff. 8 Schmidt- Kolbe clarinets from the University of Edinbourgh music instruments collection are listed. From other internet sources I see that these were quite special instruments, e.g. can't play in tune with normal Bb- mouthpieces but need special ones. Fritz Wurlitzer is said to have made Schmidt- Kolbe clarinets some time ago.
