Hi nice to say hello, thanks for the interest.

I have JUST acquired a very ancient, I think the modern word they use today is Vintage Clarinet.

I play Clarinet but this is VERY OLD and in need of much TLC and a complete overhaul with leaks galore presently unplayable so I haven't a clue what key it is however from it's bore size which is 15mm I suspect it's a C.

The model is:

Excelsior
Sonorous
Class
Hawkes & Son

I think the forunner of the modern Boosey and Hawkes the build number is 15648

Unfortunately there is no mouthpiece and the barrel although ancient is a more modern Boosey & Hawkes and a shade darker than the clari.

The bell possibly original is very 'used' and worn and I cannot read the detail the length 105mm.

It 'feels' plasticy but guess it's not, the keys possibly nickel but I'm open for correction it's certainly not as shiny as my Backun Silver Keys. Pleased to offer any further detail and possible photo's if required.

Any help would be really appreciated Thank You Peter
