Hello!
I just recently bought a clarinet on Ebay that is only labeled "Image Artist" on the bell. I have read through these posts and found one posting, that is it, on this clarinet.

According to Mr. Ted Ridenour ( Mr. Tom Ridenour's son) the Image Artist is the Arioso model that was sold exclusively by music stores. Mr. Tom Ridenour hand adjusted a number of these in the same fashion as the lyrique and they are also exceptional instruments.

I googled some more and found a listing of another Ridenour with the same case on ebay, the "Ridenour Lyrique 576bc" which I guess confirms my beliefs that it is a Ridenour! Not sure if this info is helpful to anyone else though.
I do not have the clarinet yet. I bought it on ebay, but it did not say much in its description. I am just curious as to the quality of this instrument and if any additional information is known. Attached is the only picture from the ebay listing.
Thank you!
Natasha

It does look like Ridenour clarinet. Maybe you could wait until you get the instrument and post better pics if you still have questions then.

I have 2 Ridenour clarinets (576BE and Libertas) and they play very well. One problem to watch out for: I must have a lot of acid on my skin, because I corroded the plating badly.
