Thanks Chris I answered Tony's reply first apologies

I tend to be swayed towards it being 'from its high polished finish' that's it's Ebonite, I have since found with a quick polish of the Bell tenon ring it is definite Nickel and age stained as well however I may be able to improve on that.

Well as far as smell is concerned it smells of typical "old age", musty and dank the case too which is original but battered to hell so its going west.

It's a pity the pads are gone and not possible to play they really are bad, some "in pieces" mainly the bladder pads some leather which incidentally still look reasonable, but ALL will be changed.

Would you know if the ORIGINAL clarinet had leather or bladder pads ??

Thanks again Chris
