Rampone Clarinets?

Author: Vinnie Du Beau

Does anyone have any information they could share regarding the Rampone clarinets? I could only establish that Rampone went into business in 1850, and later began making flutes as well after partnering. I have one of these fine instruments here, but can't find any information on it. Anything anyone has is much appreciated.

thanks alot in advance!

See http://www.sneezy.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=35772&t=35746. Rampone (not Rampone & Cazzani) was established much later than than - 1932.

Thanks for the reply!

After digging through my archives, I found a book I have that gave me the information needed to identify the system...

It uses the simple system, and the Clinton mechanism.

Again, it's a Rampone, and I was wondering if anyone had any info on value.
It's serial number is 08238...

thanks again

I have no clue about value. The link Mark provided was to commentary on a double walled metal clarinet in the key of C. Low pitch. The keys were mostly frozen and one key was missing. It went for a ton, because nothing like it had been posted on eBay in the four years that I have been watching. By coincidence, at about the same time, someone listed a Rampone metal Contrabass that also looked like some sort of albert. Is yours metal, by any chance?
